President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he has nominated Lance Schroyer to serve as the next director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In a post on Truth Social, Trump praised Schroyer, a former Oklahoma State Trooper and US Marine, as a “patriot” and a “proven leader.” Schroyer has over 29 years of experience in law enforcement in Oklahoma

“I am very pleased to announce that I have nominated Lance Schroyer to be our next ICE Director,” Trump wrote. “Lance has over 29 YEARS of Law Enforcement experience in Oklahoma — A State where I WON all 77 Counties in 2016, 2020, and 2024! Lance is a former Oklahoma State Trooper, and United States Marine. He is a PATRIOT with real operational experience, and proven leader with DECADES of experience locking up the worst of the worst, including spearheading 287g Law Enforcement partnerships with ICE!”

“Lance has firsthand experience getting Illegal Aliens OFF our streets and, just like ME and our Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, he LOVES the men and women of ICE,” Trump continued. “Importantly, Lance Schroyer has what it takes to DETAIN AND DEPORT Illegal Alien Criminals, including murders, rapists, and drug traffickers at a rate never seen before! Remember, our Administration has the HIGHEST Daily Arrest Rate by ICE and CBP than ANY other President, by far. It’s not even close! The Senate must CONFIRM Lance, IMMEDIATELY — Do not delay.”

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who is also from Oklahoma, praised the nomination on Saturday.

“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,” Mullin said.

Schroyer’s nomination follows the resignation of former ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons in May. David Venturella, a former private prisons executive, has been serving as acting head of the agency and is expected to remain in that role until Schroyer is confirmed by the Senate, according to the Associated Press.

ICE has not had a Senate-confirmed director since the Obama administration. If confirmed, Schroyer is expected to continue the Trump administration’s deportation efforts, particularly after the agency received $75 billion in additional funding last year to hire 12,000 officers and increase detention capacity.
