ICE is headed for a decade without a director appointed, following the withdrawal of Trump's nominee.

The White House has withdrawn the nomination of police officer Lance Schroyer to lead the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. The announcement, made on Thursday in Los Angeles, marks the latest development in a prolonged leadership vacancy for the organization.

With this withdrawal, ICE remains without a Senate-confirmed director, a status the agency has held for nearly a decade. The event has drawn renewed public and media attention to the ongoing administrative instability within the federal immigration enforcement body.
