White House withdraws nomination of ex-state trooper Lance Schroyer to head ICE
(opens the publisher’s site)The White House has withdrawn the nomination of Lance Schroyer to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement after his confirmation stalled in the Senate.
- The White House withdrew Schroyer's nomination Thursday in a short memo that did not explain the decision.
- Trump had nominated Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper and senior aide to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, in June.
- Sen. Rand Paul said he would not advance the nomination until the White House provided more information about ICE shootings that killed two US citizens in Minneapolis in January.
- ICE has not had a Senate-confirmed director since 2017 and is currently led by acting director David Venturella.
