ICE hasn\u2019t had a Senate-confirmed boss since the Obama administration.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The pick belonged to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, not border czar Tom Homan, 64, or Stephen Miller, 40, the White House deputy chief of staff and the president\u2019s immigration lead\u2014and DHS insiders say it landed like a grenade. \u201cHe\u2019s Markwayne\u2019s guy,\u201d a senior official told PunchUp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cEveryone was blindsided by the selection [of Schroyer], including Homan and Miller,\u201d a source said, signaling that Miller\u2019s power over the president may be draining away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe may be getting boxed out,\u201d the source added of Miller.<\/p>\n<p>Homan isn\u2019t faring much better. It \u201cseems Homan is losing some power,\u201d a senior ICE figure told PunchUp, pointing to Homan being \u201cnot a fan\u201d of Trump\u2019s proposal to rename ICE to \u201cNICE.\u201d A second administration official put it more bluntly: \u201cI think Homan is going to lose all power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president himself hinted at the friction on Truth Social, writing of the name-change idea on June 20, \u201cEveryone loves it, but I have been told by the legendary Tom Homan that the Agents do not love it as much as the other population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite his apparent lack of leadership experience, Schroyer would inherit a vast agency with a gigantic budget. The reaction inside ICE has been brutal. Three separate insiders told PunchUp that the rank and file are in open revolt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTroops not happy at all. Senior leaders not happy,\u201d one senior ICE source told the outlet. \u201cNo experience. He was a trooper. But that\u2019s it. Never a boss. Never a leader. Never had to manage a budget. Now he has $78 billion. Now he has 32,000 employees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The administration official went further, telling PunchUp the response had been \u201cvery bad\u201d and that many agents were ready to walk. \u201cMany say they will retire,\u201d the source said. They called Schroyer \u201cnice\u201d but with \u201cno experience really with 287g ops\u201d\u2014the program that deputizes local cops to enforce immigration law.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2472\">Keystone Kash\u2019s Girlfriend Suffers Onstage Disaster<\/a><\/p>\n<p>PunchUp revealed that Schroyer has spent weeks quietly serving as a senior adviser to Mullin, who pushed his old trooper buddy toward the job. Schroyer once worked the senator\u2019s residential security detail back when Mullin represented Oklahoma. The pair were so close, a source said, that Mullin would sometimes invite him in for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>It hasn\u2019t always gone Mullin\u2019s way. As PunchUp revealed in May, the former plumbing company boss first wanted his hometown sheriff, Vic Regalado, for the ICE job\u2014only to be overruled. Miller and Homan then muscled through their own acting director, Homan-linked private-prison veteran David Venturella, in a humiliating defeat for the secretary. Schroyer slipping through now suggests the balance of power has tilted\u2014and not in Miller and Homan\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n<p>To one agency veteran, it fits a familiar pattern. \u201cThis guy will be his \u2018fish cop,\u2019\u201d the senior ICE official told PunchUp\u2014a dig at former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem\u2019s handpicked, often-ridiculed former ICE deputy director, Madison Sheahan, 29. \u201cPutting his person in with no experience just to have his guy on the inside. He\u2019s going to be the new Noem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noem, 54, was fired by Trump on March 5 after a run of disasters at the agency and corruption allegations against her chief adviser and rumored lover, Corey Lewandowski, 52, which he denies.<\/p>\n<p>The same source warned Schroyer\u2019s arrival could gut the senior ranks just as the agency tries to stabilize. \u201cYou\u2019re gonna see a lot of senior leaders\u201d who \u201cretire, leave,\u201d they told PunchUp. \u201cBecause it\u2019ll be a power struggle. A new person in there, no one will know what is going on, and we\u2019re gonna look like idiots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A White House official told PunchUp and the Beast that Trump had \u201cfull faith and confidence in both Tom Homan and Stephen Miller,\u201d and that Miller had been \u201caware\u201d of the decision to hire Schroyer, was involved in the process, and \u201cvery supportive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has also contacted the Department of Homeland Security and ICE for comment. They did not respond by the time of publication.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><b>*Read the full story, and more scoops from the heart of the Trump administration, on PunchUp.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2470\">Peeling Plywood Turns Trump\u2019s \u2018Temu\u2019 Triumphal Arch Into Laughing Stock<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s choice of an obscure Oklahoma state trooper to run ICE has triggered a furious revolt inside the agency, with senior officials warning of mass retirements and suggesting Stephen Miller\u2019s power is on the slide, PunchUp reports.
