Trump tapped Schroyer to be the next ICE director in June, calling him a “PATRIOT with real operational experience, and proven leader with DECADES of experience locking up the worst of the worst,” and saying that he would play a “vital role” in the Administration’s immigration crackdown.
Schroyer’s pick was somewhat of a surprise, given that he has no experience leading a law enforcement agency. He is close to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, whose department houses ICE; Schroyer previously served on Mullin’s security detail, and the Secretary later made him a senior DHS advisor.
Mullin and Trump both urged Congress to swiftly confirm Schroyer following his nomination.
But Paul, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, said in August that he would delay a confirmation hearing for Schroyer until DHS provided further information regarding the investigations into the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis earlier this year, a major flashpoint in Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown.
ICE has not had a Senate-confirmed leader since 2017. Schroyer’s nomination followed former acting ICE Director Todd Lyon’s departure from the agency at the end of May. Long-time immigration official David Venturella has headed ICE, also in an acting capacity, since June 1.
