## Resource

The White House abruptly dropped Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper and close ally of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, as their pick to lead ICE — leaving the agency without a confirmed director for now. Schroyer, touted by President Trump as a “PATRIOT” with experience locking up dangerous criminals, never got a formal Senate confirmation. With David Venturella currently serving as acting director, ICE remains in limbo as the administration scrambles to fill the critical leadership role.
