White House Withdraws Nomination of Lance Schroyer to Lead ICE
The former Oklahoma state trooper’s bid to head Immigration and Customs Enforcement had stalled in the Senate amid mounting scrutiny of the agency’s operations.
The White House has withdrawn the nomination of Lance Schroyer to lead the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper, had been put forward to head the agency, but his nomination stalled in the Senate as ICE faced growing scrutiny over its operations, the report said.
Al Jazeera did not specify the reasons behind the withdrawal or provide additional details on the timeline of the decision.
It remains unclear who the White House may nominate next to lead ICE, or when such an announcement might be made.
ICE, a component of the Department of Homeland Security, has been the subject of continued public and congressional attention over its enforcement practices, though the specific nature of the scrutiny referenced was not detailed in the available reporting.
