President Donald Trump has nominated Lance Schroyer, a decorated former Oklahoma state trooper and Marine Corps veteran, to lead U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, signaling a renewed commitment to border security and the rule of law.
President Donald Trump announced Saturday his nomination of Lance Schroyer as the next director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a decisive move to restore strong leadership to the agency tasked with protecting America’s borders. Schroyer brings over 29 years of distinguished law enforcement experience in Oklahoma, having served as a state trooper and as a major in the Department of Public Safety’s Emergency Services Unit. His service in the U.S. Marine Corps further demonstrates his dedication to the nation, and he currently advises Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on critical security matters.
The White House highlighted Schroyer’s expertise in interagency collaboration, tactical planning, and effective policy implementation—qualities essential for confronting the challenges posed by illegal immigration. Secretary Mullin called for a swift confirmation, noting Schroyer’s proven track record in leading large-scale operations and his effective work with state and federal partners under the successful 287(g) program, which has been instrumental in removing dangerous illegal aliens from communities.
ICE has been without a Senate-confirmed director since early 2017, but Trump’s nomination of Schroyer marks a turning point. Mullin, in a social media post, praised Schroyer’s operational experience and leadership, stating, "Lance is coming straight from the operational field where he ran large scale operations and worked alongside state and federal partners to remove illegal aliens from Oklahoma under the 287g program." Mullin added, "President Trump made a great pick, and I'm confident Lance's strong leadership and firsthand experience will empower the men and women of ICE to deport criminal illegal aliens, secure the homeland, and protect the American people."
