Two Reasons Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons Will Step Down By May 31: 'Thanks To Him, American Communities Are Safer'

Acting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons submitted his resignation on Thursday, ending a turbulent 14-month stint running the agency at the centre of President Donald Trump's mass deportation programme. His last day will be 31 May.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin confirmed the departure, praising the 20-year ICE veteran. '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,' Mullin said in a statement. 'He jumpstarted an agency that had not been allowed to do its job for four years. Thanks to his leadership, American communities are safer.'
