Trump (R) on 6/27/2026 tapped little-known Oklahoma Law Enforcement Officer, Lance Schroyer (R) to Serve as the Next Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Elevating a Relatively Obscure Figure to Lead One of the Administration’s Hhighest-Profile Agencies, as it Ramps Up its Mass Deportation Campaign.
Trump described Schroyer as “a PATRIOT with real operational experience" in a Post on Truth Social, calling Him a "proven leader with DECADES of experience locking up the worst of the worst.”
Trump Highlighted Schroyer's nearly 30 years in Law Enforcement, including HisWwork as an Oklahoma State Trooper, Marine, and Leader of Partnerships between Local Law Enforcement and ICE, under the Agency's 287(g) Program. Trump said Schroyer "has what it takes to DETAIN AND DEPORT Illegal Alien Criminals" and urged the Senate to "CONFIRM Lance, IMMEDIATELY."
The Nomination comes as the Trump Administration continues to make Immigration Enforcement the Centerpiece of its Second Term Agenda. ICE has Expanded Wworkplace Raids and Interior Enforcement Operations, while Relying more Heavily on State and Local Law Eenforcement Agencies through 287(g) Agreements. But the Agency has moved away from the Flashy, and Controversial, Enforcement Tactics, Championed by former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem (R) over the last few months.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin (R), who was a Senator from Oklahoma before joining the Cabinet, Praised the Nomination, saying Schroyer is "coming straight from the operational field" after Leading Large-Scale Enforcement Efforts alongside State and Federal Partners in Oklahoma. He said Schroyer's Experience would Help ICE "target, arrest, and deport illegal aliens."
Schroyer would Replace Acting ICE Director David Venturella (R), who has Lled the Agency since May 2026, upon the Retirement of Embattled ICE Chief Todd Lyon (I).
Venturella is a Close Ally of Border Czar Tom Homan (R), who did Stints at ICE, and as a Major Immigration Detention Contractor before Joining the Second Trump Administration. Venturella will Remain as Acting Director until Schroyer’s Confirmation.
If Confirmed, Schroyer would become the First Senate Cnfirmed ICE Director, since Sarah Saldaña (I) was Confirmed in 2014, Ending an 11-year Stretch in which the Agency has been Run by Acting Leaders.
