Multiple outlets report that Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to Donald Trump, says he was “blindsided” by Trump’s decision to appoint Lance Schroyer to lead the agency overseeing immigration enforcement. According to the reporting, Trump announces over the weekend that Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper, will become the next ICE director. Miller’s reaction is described as coming as a surprise, suggesting he was not directly informed in advance of the selection. The articles identify Schroyer’s prior role in law enforcement as a key part of his background, but they do not provide additional details in the excerpts about policy changes, timelines for when he would start, or Miller’s specific comments beyond the “blindsided” characterization. The reporting frames the episode as a personnel decision within Trump’s immigration enforcement leadership, highlighting internal reactions to the appointment.
