Trump Nominates Former Trooper Lance Schroyer to Run ICE
For over a decade, America's most controversial agency has been running on the administrative equivalent of vibes and temporary bosses. Now, it might actually get a permanent head.
Yes, you read that right. ICE has not had a Senate-confirmed director since Barack Obama was in the White House. That is almost eight years of temp bosses running one of the most powerful and heavily scrutinized law enforcement agencies in the country. It is like running a major airline with nothing but substitute pilots.
Enter Lance Schroyer. He started out as an Oklahoma state trooper, climbing the ranks in state law enforcement. Now he is being asked to jump from highway patrols straight to managing a massive federal apparatus with over twenty thousand employees and a multi-billion dollar budget.
It is almost impressive how a country can argue about immigration 24/7 while leaving the actual agency in charge of it on autopilot for nearly a decade.
