Trump nominates Lance Schroyer as new ICE director

Donald Trump nominated Lance Schroyer, a 29-year Oklahoma law enforcement veteran, to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement, pushing for immediate Senate confirmation. Schroyer previously ran a state-level ICE-partnered deportation programme in Oklahoma, signalling Trump's intent to accelerate removals even beyond the current pace. The agency has operated without a Senate-confirmed director since 2017, and the nomination hands Congress its next flashpoint on immigration policy. Trump framed the pick in a Truth Social post addressed directly to the Senate: 'Don't delay it.'
