White House Withdraws Nomination of Lance Schroyer to Lead ICE
The former Oklahoma state trooper had faced criticism over his lack of formal experience within the agency he was tapped to run.
The White House has withdrawn the nomination of Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper, to serve as director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to the Guardian.
The withdrawal comes less than three months after Schroyer's nomination was first announced, the report said.
Critics had previously criticized administration officials for selecting Schroyer to lead the agency, noting that he had no formal experience working within ICE, according to the Guardian.
Schroyer had been nominated to head the agency as it carries out what the report described as Donald Trump's aggressive immigration enforcement agenda.
The Guardian's report did not specify the reasons given by the White House for withdrawing the nomination, nor did it indicate whether a replacement candidate has been identified.
