President Donald Trump announced his selection of Lance Schroyer, a longtime Oklahoma law‑enforcement officer and former Marine, to become the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, succeeding interim director David Venturella. Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Schroyer’s background running joint state‑federal immigration actions under Oklahoma’s 287(g) program qualifies him to increase the removal of non‑citizens charged with serious offenses. Schroyer has not previously led a federal agency, and his nomination will be examined by the Senate. The choice arrives while ICE is under scrutiny for recent enforcement incidents, including deaths in custody and claims of excessive force, and follows a year‑long funding impasse that was finally resolved in early June.
