The White House withdraws President Trump’s nomination of Lance Schroyer to lead U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to reporting from The Washington Post and The New York Times. The nomination is pulled shortly after it is made, ending the White House’s bid to install Schroyer in the ICE director role.
The Times reports that Trump nominated Schroyer, a former law enforcement officer from Oklahoma, less than three months earlier. The Washington Post adds that Trump had highlighted Schroyer’s experience in local immigration enforcement when he selected him in June. Both outlets link Schroyer to political connections in Washington, with the Times describing him as an ally of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Chief Markwayne Mullin.
The reports focus on the withdrawal itself and the timing and background of the nomination. Neither source provides detailed explanations for the decision in the provided excerpts, nor do they specify next steps or any replacement nominee.
