White House Withdraws Lance Schroyer's Nomination to Lead ICE
On Thursday, the White House retracted Lance Schroyer's nomination to lead US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump selected Schroyer, a former US Marine and Oklahoma state trooper, for the Senate-confirmed position. The withdrawal was noted in a short statement on the White House website, which did not offer any reasons. Schroyer's nomination had been stalled in the Senate, but no explanation was given for either the delay or the retraction. The agency, ICE, is tasked with implementing Trump's immigration enforcement policies.
