The White House has withdrawn the nomination of former Oklahoma state trooper Lance Schroyer to lead United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), without giving a reason for the decision.<\/p>\n

The withdrawal was announced on Thursday. Schroyer, a senior adviser to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, was nominated by President Donald Trump in June but had yet to receive a hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.<\/p>\n

Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, who chairs the committee, had refused to hold a hearing until the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provided information he had requested about civilian deaths during ICE enforcement operations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have a concern with who the nominee was. I had asked them to give me an update on the internal investigation into civilian deaths,\u201d Paul told The Associated Press news agency.<\/p>\n

Paul said he had intended to hold a hearing on Schroyer\u2019s nomination but learned that it had been withdrawn when the White House made the decision public.<\/p>\n

ICE remains under scrutiny<\/h2>\n

Schroyer had little experience in immigration and had not previously worked at ICE or led a major law enforcement agency. Two US officials told the Reuters news agency when he was nominated that he had been a surprise choice for the position.<\/p>\n

When announcing Schroyer\u2019s nomination in June, Trump said on Truth Social that he had \u201cfirsthand experience getting Illegal Aliens OFF our streets\u201d and called on the Senate to confirm him \u201cIMMEDIATELY\u201d.<\/p>\n

The withdrawal comes as ICE remains under scrutiny over its enforcement operations as the Trump administration carries out its immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n

Critics have raised questions about how the agency has recruited and trained officers as it rapidly expanded its workforce. Federal immigration officers have also shot and killed multiple people during enforcement operations, including two US citizens<\/a> in Minneapolis earlier this year.<\/p>\n

ICE arrests have continued to increase, reaching nearly 51,000 in August, the highest monthly total of Trump\u2019s second administration.<\/p>\n

ICE has not had a Senate-confirmed director since 2017. David Venturella is serving as acting director after Todd Lyons resigned earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The White House has not indicated when it might announce another nominee to lead the agency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
