White House Withdraws ICE Director Nomination Without Reason

The White House withdrew Lance Schroyer's nomination to run Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on September 17, 2026, under three months after naming him, without giving a reason. Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper and adviser to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, never got a Senate hearing. The next pick will signal if the White House wants a confirmable candidate.
