White House withdraws ICE director nominee Richard Schroyer
Richard Schroyer's nomination was held up in the Senate. The White House eventually pulled it.
The White House has announced the withdrawal of Richard Schroyer's nomination to become the new Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This decision came after Schroyer's nomination stalled in the Senate, primarily due to Republican Senator Rand Paul's objections. Paul had requested detailed information about investigations into agent-involved shootings in Minnesota, which Schroyer was unable to provide.
Schroyer had been serving as a senior adviser to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin when he was nominated by President Trump in June. Currently, David Venturella is serving as the senior official performing the duties of ICE director, following Todd Lyons' departure in April. Notably, ICE has not had a Senate-confirmed director since 2017.
