Summary
Schroyer, whom Trump calls ‘a patriot’, led deportation campaign in Oklahoma under ICE (immigration enforcement agency)-partnered program Donald Trump said on Saturday that he will nominate Lance Schroyer as the next director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ), succeeding David Venturella, who had been performing the duties of the director. He added Schroyer “is coming straight from the operational field where he ran large scale operations and worked alongside state and federal partners to remove illegal aliens from Oklahoma under the 287g program ”, referring to a partnership between ICE and state or local law enforcement agencies that delegates federal immigration enforcement authority to local officers. Both Trump and Mullin called on the Senate to quickly confirm Schroyer. Mullin said that “it has been 11 years” since the Senate confirmed an ICE director. The agency has been without a Senate-confirmed director since early 2017. Trump has made cracking down on immigration a top priority since taking office last year, but rights groups say the government’s actions violate civil liberties and create an unsafe environment for ethnic minorities in particular. ICE has been at the heart of Trump’s crackdown with its immigration detentions and attempted deportations. ICE agents’ fatal shooting of two US citizens in Minnesota, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, in January sparked nationwide protests. Trump has justified the deportation campaign by saying it aims to cut illegal immigration and improve domestic security. Remember, our Administration has the HIGHEST Daily Arrest Rate by ICE and CBP (border protection agency) than ANY other President, by far”.
