Mr. Schroyer was chosen to succeed Todd Lyons, who resigned as ICE director in late May. David Venturella, a former ICE office director, is currently serving as the agency\u2019s acting director.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump said in a Truth Social post that Mr. Schroyer has \u201cover 29 years of Law Enforcement experience in Oklahoma \u2013 A State where I won all 77 Counties in 2016, 2020, and 2024!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLance 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,\u201d said the president in his post. \u201cImportantly, Lance Schroyer has what it takes to DETAIN AND DEPORT Illegal Alien Criminals, including murders, rapists, and drug traffickers at a rate never seen before!\u201d<\/p>\n

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, also an Oklahoman, praised the selection as a \u201cgreat pick.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLance is coming straight from the operational field where he ran large scale operations and worked alongside state and federal partners to remove illegal aliens from Oklahoma under the 287g program,\u201d he said in a Saturday post on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump made a great pick, and I\u2019m confident Lance\u2019s 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,\u201d said Mr. Mullin.<\/p>\n

He urged the Senate to confirm Mr. Schroyer, saying that the agency has not had a Senate-confirmed head in 11 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Senate must confirm Lance, immediately \u2014 Do not delay,\u201d Mr. Trump said. \u201cTogether, we will Make America Safe Again. Thank you for your attention to this matter!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
