White House Withdraws Nomination of Lance Schroyer to Lead ICE
The former Oklahoma state trooper had been tapped by President Trump to head Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency central to his domestic policy agenda.
The White House has withdrawn its nomination of Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper, to lead U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to NPR News.
The move means ICE, an agency that has played a central role in President Trump's domestic agenda, will continue without a Senate-confirmed director for at least a while longer, NPR reported.
Schroyer had been nominated by Trump to take the helm of the agency, which oversees immigration enforcement operations across the United States. Details on the reasons for the withdrawal were not immediately disclosed.
The White House has not yet announced a replacement nominee for the position, according to the report.
ICE has operated without permanent, Senate-confirmed leadership for an extended period, even as the agency has been tasked with carrying out expanded enforcement priorities under the Trump administration.
