Todd Lyons, an interim deputy executive director of the US Immigration and Customs Control Service will be the new interim director of the agency, while Madison Sheahan, secretary of the Department of Wildlife and Louisiana fishing, will be the new deputy director.
The Secretary of National Security, Kristi Noem, appointed a new leader of the United States Immigration and Customs Control, (ICE, in English) on Sunday while the agency fights to meet the declared objective of President Donald Trump to carry out massive deportation operations aimed at immigrants who are illegally in the United States.

The Trump administration deported 37,660 people during their first month in office, as shown by the data of the United States National Security Department reported by Reuters last month, a much lower figure than the monthly average of 57,000 expulsions and returns in the last full year of the Joe Biden administration.
Trump made the promise of deporting millions of people in the United States a central piece of his campaign. The interim director of the United States Immigration and Customs Control Service, Caleb Vitello, was reallocated last month for not meeting expectations, Reuters said previously.
“I am naming a new ICE leadership to deliver the results that President Trump and the American people legitimately demand,” Noem said in a statement, adding that Lyons and Sheahan “will lead the men and women of ICE to achieve the mandate of the US people to identify, arrest and deport illegal immigrants.”
