Trump nominates former Oklahoma state trooper Lance Schroyer as ICE director
Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post in which he praised Schroyer for being a “PATRIOT with real operational experience” and a “proven leader with DECADES of experience locking up the worst of the worst.”
Schroyer, who has almost 30 years in law enforcement, will replace acting director David Venturella, a former executive at a private prison operator. Former ICE director Todd Lyons resigned in May for a role in the private sector.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin praised Trump’s nomination, saying Schroyer “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.”
Trump on Friday endorsed former Oklahoma state senator Mike Mazzei in the Oklahoma gubernatorial race against Attorney General Gentner Drummond.

The Senate must confirm Schroyer. ICE has had 12 acting directors since the Senate last confirmed one in 2017 under former President Barack Obama.
Trump called on the Senate to confirm him immediately, as did Mullin.
