Anonymousabout 2 months ago

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons submitted his resignation to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin on April 16, 2026, with his last day set for May 31. Lyons oversaw a period of record deportations, a doubling of the ICE workforce, and surging detention populations, but was also hospitalized twice for stress-related issues amid reported pressure from White House immigration adviser Stephen Miller. His departure leaves ICE — an agency that has not had a Senate-confirmed director since 2017 — facing yet another leadership transition during an unprecedented expansion of enforcement operations.
