President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he will nominate Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper and Marine, to be the next director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“Lance has firsthand experience getting Illegal Aliens OFF our streets and, just like ME and our Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, he LOVES the men and women of ICE,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Trump, who called Schroyer a “proven leader” with over 29 years of law enforcement experience in Oklahoma, called on the Senate to immediately confirm him.
ICE, which is overseen by the Department of Homeland Security, has played a key role in Trump’s effort to crack down on illegal immigration.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told CNN in a statement that Schroyer is a “great pick,” adding that he is “confident Lance’s strong leadership and firsthand experience will empower the men and women of ICE to deport criminal illegal aliens, secure the homeland, and protect the American people.”
