White House withdraws Trump’s nominee to lead ICE
NBC News • • general
Key Points:
- The White House withdrew President Trump's nominee, Lance Schroyer, to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), with no official reason provided in the withdrawal notice.
- Sen. Rand Paul blocked Schroyer's nomination due to insufficient information from the White House regarding shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minnesota.
- Schroyer, a senior adviser to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and former Oklahoma state trooper, lacks direct ICE experience but was Mullin’s top pick to replace former ICE director Todd Lyons.
- Acting ICE Director David Venturella is expected to continue leading the agency for the time being.
- Both the White House and ICE have not commented on the nomination withdrawal or Sen. Paul's involvement.
