Haitians and Syrians who lost Temporary Protected Status under last week’s Supreme Court ruling have no legal path to remain in the US and must leave now or face forced removal, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.
Deportations of illegal immigrants in the United States have substantially increased compared to totals from 2025. That was one of the achievements Department of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin discussed during an interview over the weekend about his first 100 days on the job. He touted the increase in deportation numbers while explaining how DHS has […]
President Donald Trump's new appointee is raising alarm among staff inside the Department of Homeland Security and many are willing to quit over the appointment. The Daily Beast reported on Monday that Trump has tapped an obscure state trooper from Oklahoma to run U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), citing a piece from PunchUp. Senior officials say that they were shocked deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller was not appointed to the role.Richard “Lance” Schroyer is a former highway patrol officer and Marine, his biography says. Officials inside of DHS think that the real puppetmaster of ICE has been Miller, and they thought he was the likely nominee along with border chief Tom Homan. The Beast noted that the Senate hasn't confirmed a head of ICE since the Obama administration. However, they did approve DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. According to insiders, Schroyer's announcement sent shockwaves through DHS. “He’s Markwayne’s guy,” one senior official told PunchUp.“Everyone was blindsided by the selection [of Schroyer], including Homan and Miller,” one source said. There is a concern that it could be a signal that Miller's power over immigration and deportations is being whittled away. “He may be getting boxed out,” the source added.That said, the Homan wing isn't doing well either. It “seems Homan is losing some power,” another senior ICE official told PunchUp. He evidently wasn't "a fan" of Trump's idea to rebrand ICE as "NICE."“Everyone 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," Trump wrote on Truth Social on June 20. “I think Homan is going to lose all power," another official said about the matter. Schroyer will take over a massive agency with a significant budget, despite having no experience leading an agency or office of any kind. Three insiders told PunchUp that the rank and file are ready to self-deport from their jobs. “Troops not happy at all. Senior leaders not happy,” said one senior ICE source. “No experience. He was a trooper. But that’s it. Never a boss. Never a leader. Never had to manage a budget. Now he has $78 billion. Now he has 32,000 employees.”Agents, the person said, are ready to walk. “Many say they will retire,” the source said. “You’re gonna see a lot of senior leaders” who “retire, leave,” they told PunchUp. “Because it’ll be a power struggle. A new person in there, no one will know what is going on, and we’re gonna look like idiots.”They think Schroyer is "nice" but that he has “no experience really with 287g ops." He's already been working quietly as a senior advisor to Mullin. Schroyer also worked previously as Mullin's residential security detail. "The pair were so close," the report said, citing a source, and noted that he was invited to have dinner with the family while working on the detail. One agency veteran said that it's part of an ongoing pattern of appointing friends with no experience to jobs. “This guy will be his ‘fish cop,’” the senior ICE official said when speaking to PunchUp. The report recalled previous Secretary Kristi Noem's deputy director of ICE, 29-year-old loyalist Madison Sheahan. She eventually left ICE and ran for Congress but lost in the primary. “Putting his person in with no experience just to have his guy on the inside. He’s going to be the new Noem," the official said.
Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has sent a direct and forceful letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin demanding swift action to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) racket for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian nationals now that the Supreme Court has cleared the path in Mullin v.

President Donald Trump's nomination of an obscure Oklahoma state trooper to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement has set off a revolt inside the agency and raised fresh questions about whether Stephen Miller's influence in the White House is fading.Sources told The Daily Beast's PunchUp that Richard "Lance" Schroyer, a former highway patrolman and ex-Marine, was the choice of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin rather than border czar Tom Homan or Miller, the deputy chief of staff who has driven the administration's immigration agenda, and one source said the snub points to his diminishing sway over the president."He may be getting boxed out," the source said. The remark comes as Miller's signature self-deportation initiative, Project Homecoming, is increasingly viewed internally as a costly failure.A senior ICE figure said it "seems Homan is losing some power," citing his resistance to Trump's proposal to rename ICE as "NICE." Trump himself acknowledged the friction in a Truth Social post, noting Homan had told him agents weren't as enthusiastic about the idea as others.Inside ICE, reaction to Schroyer's nomination has been described as brutal, with senior leaders and rank-and-file agents reportedly furious over his lack of management experience. One insider noted he has never run a budget or led an organization, yet would now oversee a $78 billion agency with 32,000 employees. Multiple sources said agents are openly discussing retirement.Schroyer has reportedly been quietly advising Mullin for weeks, having previously worked on the senator's security detail in Oklahoma — a relationship close enough that Mullin would sometimes invite him to dinner.The pick marks a reversal of fortune for Mullin, who has clashed with Miller and Homan since becoming DHS secretary in March. He initially wanted a different ally for the ICE post but was overruled, and Miller and Homan later installed their own pick as acting director. Schroyer's emergence now suggests that balance may be shifting.One veteran agency official compared the dynamic to Trump's previous DHS leadership shake-up, warning that Schroyer could become a loyal but inexperienced "inside man," echoing comparisons to former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s often-ridiculed former ICE deputy director, Madison Sheahan.A White House official pushed back on the narrative of discord, saying Trump retains "full faith and confidence" in both Homan and Miller, and that Miller was aware of and supportive of the Schroyer decision.DHS and ICE did not respond to requests for comment.
“The pungent odor of Kristi Noem lingers in Washington.”Those are the opening words of longtime conservative columnist George Will, whose column in the Washington Post hammered the 6-3 Supreme Court majority for wrongly dismantling the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program depended upon by hundreds of thousands of immigrants.According to Will, the conservative majority deliberately ignored overwhelming evidence that Kristi Noem's actions were driven by racial "animus," and therefore "violated the pertinent law."As he pointed out, within three days of the former Department of Homeland Security head terminating TPS for Haitians and Syrians, which led to the court case that made its way to the nation's highest court, Noem publicly recommended "a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies" who "slaughter our heroes" and "suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars."He dryly added, "She [Noem] refrained from echoing Trump’s assertion about kitten-cooking Haitians in Springfield, Ohio. This marks her as a MAGA moderate. JD Vance spread the pet-eating fiction because he said creating 'stories' (his word) makes the media notice Americans’ suffering.""Surely justices are not required to ignore such rhetoric? And although thoughtful people disagree about whether, or how much, justices should consider the downstream consequences of their rulings," he suggested.Expressing his disappointment with the conservative-majority court, he offered, "Time and freshening breezes will cleanse Washington, dissipating the legacies of appointees like Noem, and of the president who chose them. The court’s mistaken ruling she provoked will be more lasting."
