\u201dLance has over 29 YEARS of Law Enforcement experience in Oklahoma,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social, noting he won all of the state\u2019s counties in three successive elections.<\/p>\n

The agency hasn\u2019t had a director confirmed by the Senate since 2017, amid angry partisan clashes over immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n

Trump called Schroyer a \u201cPATRIOT with real operational experience, and proven leader with DECADES of experience locking up the worst of the worst, including spearheading 287g Law Enforcement partnerships with ICE!\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted Schoyer\u2019s firsthand experience getting \u201cIllegal Aliens OFF our streets\u201d and said just like Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, \u201che LOVES the men and women of ICE.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mullin, who the Senate confirmed as Secretary of Homeland Security, stepped in after Trump forced out embattled predecessor Kristi Noem.<\/p>\n

Former acting ICE director Todd Lyons announced his resignation in April, following the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in January amid anti-ICE demonstrations.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Trump called on the Senate \u2014 in recess through the week of July 4th \u2014 to confirm Schroyer immediately.<\/p>\n

A LinkedIn page in his name has no posts, activity or personal information beyond his title; news reports from 2015 and 2016 document Schroyer responding to traumatic highway car crashes.<\/p>\n
