The White House says it is withdrawing its nomination of Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper, to lead U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ensuring that an agency at the forefront of President Donald Trump’s domestic agenda will remain without a Senate-confirmed leader for at least a while longer. Schroyer is close to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, a former U.S. senator from Oklahoma. He has little experience with immigration. The White House offered no comment in a brief statement. When he nominated Schroyer in June, Trump said on his Truth Social platform that his pick was “a PATRIOT with real operational experience” and a “proven leader with DECADES of experience locking up the worst of the worst.”

Control of the U.S. Senate is up for grabs with less than two months until Election Day. Republicans appeared to have a firm grip on the majority at the start of the 2026 election cycle. But Democrats are now competing in states that once seemed well beyond their reach. President Donald Trump's slipping approval ratings and voters' dissatisfaction with the economy have created a difficult environment for Republicans. Yet some races Democrats once counted on winning, such as Michigan and Maine, have grown more complicated. The implications are huge for Trump’s agenda and his ability to fill administration jobs and open court seats.
