Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons will step down as head of the agency at the end of May. His resignation, which was confirmed by the Department of Homeland Security, came as a surprise, and the reason wasn’t immediately given. Lyons appears to be departing on good terms, with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin praising his work at the agency. “Director Lyons has been a great leader of ICE and key player in helping the Trump administration remove murderers, rapists, pedophiles, terrorists, and gang members from American communities. He jumpstarted an agency that had not been allowed to do its job for four years. Thanks to his leadership, American communities are safer,” Mullin said in a post on X.
