The former Oklahoma senator has since been dogged by immigration hardliners who see him as weak on enforcement. Some want him gone altogether. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>His ICE nominee, Lance Schroyer, 54, worked as a highway trooper in Mullin\u2019s home state and was a part of the former senator\u2019s own security team. Schroyer has no experience enforcing immigration law at the federal level apart from participating in what\u2019s known as a 287(g) partnership agreement, which lets local police help ICE with some enforcement work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sources told Axios on Monday that Trump\u2019s border czar, Tom Homan, 64, has now become the highest-ranking member of the administration to oppose Schroyer\u2019s appointment. He joins other figures in the MAGAverse like Steve Bannon, 72, Trump\u2019s former strategist, who has objected to Schroyer\u2019s nomination on his podcast, calling the ICE post one of the toughest in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>Schroyer would take over an agency currently run by David Venturella, who took over the acting director\u2019s job in June from Todd Lyons, 52. At the time, Lyons told Mullin in a letter reviewed by ABC News that his sons were at a turning point in their lives and he wanted the time with them. Politico had revealed weeks earlier that Lyons was taken to hospital at least twice over seven months for what officials described as \u201cstress-related issues,\u201d and that White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller had shouted at him during morning calls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cICE is an enormously complicated job,\u201d Bannon said. \u201cAnd now with the heightened visibility on interior enforcement, it may be in the top three or four hardest jobs in government.\u201d He added that \u201cyou can\u2019t pick a cop from Oklahoma and think he\u2019s going to walk in and be able to do that,\u201d and that Mullin is \u201casking too much of somebody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5170\">Trump\u2019s Blonde Companion, 34, Joins Him for Golf Outing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mullin, speaking with Fox News, has said he took two months on the search for a new ICE chief and that Shroyer had been \u201cliterally right in front of me the whole time.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Backlash to the pick comes as the secretary faces growing pressure on his job performance in other respects, too. At a National Governors Association gathering two weeks ago, Mullin signaled openness to immigration reform, which online activists read as amnesty by another name. He then backed halting ICE vehicle stops after fatal shootings involving officers in Maine and Texas. Trump reversed that, with Homan\u2019s blessing.<\/p>\n<p>In June, Mullin said on CNN that Haitians losing Temporary Protected Status could seek a different legal status to remain in the country. Haiti is subject to Trump\u2019s travel ban, and its citizens are shut out of the usual channels. He has also fumbled his department\u2019s acronyms, saying \u201cCPB\u201d when he means CBP, or U.S. Customs and Border Protection.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted DHS and the White House for comment on this story. A spokesperson for the department told Axios it \u201cstands firmly behind President Trump\u2019s nominee, Lance Schroyer.\u201d White House spokesperson Lauren Bis said, \u201cthe president has confidence in his cabinet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5169\">Trump\u2019s Secret Nuclear Admission to Aides Is Leaked<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin\u2019s pick to run Donald Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown on the ground has sparked a firestorm among MAGA ranks.
