April 17 (UPI) -- Todd Lyons is to resign as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to the Trump administration, bringing an end to his oversight of the law enforcement agency executing President Donald Trump's mass deportation campaign.
His last day as ICE head will be May 31, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced late Thursday.
"Director Lyons has been a great leader of ICE and key player in helping the Trump administration remove murderers, rapists, pedophiles, terrorists and gang members from American communities. He jumpstarted an agency that had not been allowed to do its job for four years," Mullin said in a statement.
"We wish him luck on his next opportunity in the private sector."
