The White House has withdrawn its nomination of Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper, to lead U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The withdrawal came after a Republican senator objected to the nomination, demanding information about fatal shootings of U.S. citizens by immigration enforcement officers. The move leaves ICE, an agency central to President Trump's domestic immigration agenda, without a Senate-confirmed leader for the foreseeable future. The withdrawal highlights growing scrutiny within Trump's own party over ICE's conduct amid an aggressive immigration enforcement crackdown, including controversial incidents involving the deaths of citizens during operations.
