Trump Names Lance Schroyer to Lead Immigration Enforcement; Mullin Pushes for Senate Vote

President Donald Trump nominates Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper and U.S. Marine with nearly 29 years in law enforcement, to run Immigration and Customs Enforcement.The White House unveils the pick alongside border official Tom Homan, and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin endorses Schroyer for his work under 287(g) partnerships that pair local officers with federal immigration enforcement.The nomination follows the departure of Todd Lyons, leaves David Venturella as acting director, and arrives as the agency faces heightened scrutiny over increased arrests and several fatal shootings after a long period without a Senate-confirmed director.Mullin urges a swift Senate confirmation so a confirmed director can restore operational discipline, oversee planned enforcement rounds and answer questions about use of force, civil rights and coordination with state partners.
