President Donald Trump has selected Lance Schroyer as the next director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The announcement was made on June 27.
Schroyer currently serves as an adviser to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. The new role will place him at the helm of one of the most prominent federal law enforcement agencies.
Trump praised Schroyer’s background and experience in a statement. The president noted Schroyer’s close working relationship with Mullin as a key asset.
The nomination comes amid ongoing debates over immigration policy. ICE has been a central focus of the administration’s enforcement efforts.
Schroyer’s selection signals a continuation of the current leadership’s approach. His ties to Mullin suggest aligned priorities for the agency’s direction.
The move requires Senate confirmation before Schroyer can officially take office. No timeline for the confirmation process has been announced.
Schroyer’s previous work includes roles focused on border security and immigration enforcement. He has held advisory positions within the Department of Homeland Security.
