Trump taps ex-state trooper to head ICE, triggering Senate scrutiny
TL;DR
President Donald Trump nominated Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper and U.S. Marine, to lead ICE, a move that would replace the acting director and places a field-based law enforcement veteran at the helm of an agency under scrutiny over tactics and detainee deaths; Schroyer's lack of federal agency leadership experience is expected to be a point of emphasis during confirmation hearings amid ongoing debates over immigration enforcement and funding.
