WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — United States (US) President Donald Trump on Saturday nominated a former police officer from Oklahoma to be the next director of the controversial US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, or ICE.

Trump said Lance Schroyer was a former state trooper and United States Marine “with DECADES of experience locking up the worst of the worst”.

Schroyer would succeed Todd Lyons, appointed acting director of ICE in March 2025. Lyons stepped down from the position in May, a few weeks after the dismissal of then secretary of homeland security Kristi Noem.
