A decision on whom President-elect Trump will nominate to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is expected within the coming days. Discussions have been held at Mar-a-Lago this week, and a decision could be made as early as Friday. The nominee will require Senate confirmation.
While the specific candidates in the running remain unclear, sources had previously suggested John Fabbricatore and Todd Lyons as top contenders. However, Fabbricatore is now out of consideration. Todd Lyons, currently leading ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operation unit in Boston, is highly regarded within the agency and the transition team.
