Trump taps veteran ICE official to steer agency in low-profile DHS strategy
Trump will appoint David Venturella, a veteran ICE official and former GEO Group employee, as acting head of ICE, reflecting DHS Secretary Mullin’s push for a low-profile leadership style as the agency has operated without a Senate-confirmed director since 2017; Lyons departs May 31 to hand control to Venturella amid ongoing DHS scrutiny and debates over privatized detention.
