Schroyer Nominated to Lead ICE | Anchorage News
Description
Trump taps ex-Oklahoma trooper Richard “Lance” Schroyer to lead ICE — a move poised to accelerate mass deportations amid a Supreme Court ruling that could trigger hundreds of thousands of deportations of Haitians and Syrians. If confirmed, Schroyer would be the first Senate-confirmed ICE director in 11 years, replacing David Venturella — a former private prison contractor — who stepped down after a controversial incident. With nearly 30 years in law enforcement, Schroyer has advised DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and helped run Oklahoma’s federal-state immigration enforcement partnership, earning praise from state officials. Congress just approved $70 billion for ICE through 2029, with more funding on the horizon — fueling a crackdown that Schroyer’s supporters say aligns with his proven record of enforcement.
