Trump taps Oklahoma veteran for ICE director post

President Trump announced he will nominate Lance Schroyer, a 29-year veteran of law enforcement who is a former Oklahoma State Trooper and Marine, to be the next director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, succeeding acting head David Venturella. Senate confirmation is anticipated but has been stalled for years, with supporters like Rep. Markwayne Mullin urging quick approval. The nomination emphasizes a hard-line stance on illegal immigration, though civil liberties groups have raised concerns about the broader impact of the crackdown.
