From Fox News:\n<\/p>\n

Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons submitted his resignation letter to Homeland Secretary Markwayne Mullin Thursday, writing that he will stay on through May 31 to assist the transition process, Fox News has confirmed.\n<\/p>\n

According to a source, Lyons said in his letter he wants to spend more time with his family, including his sons, who are \u201creaching a pivotal point in their lives,\u201d and that it\u2019s been a privilege to serve under President Donald Trump.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cDirector 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,\u201d Mullin said in a statement.\n<\/p>\n

\n

Lyons\u2019 departure comes after a highly active period for ICE, with approximately 584,000 deportations carried out since Donald Trump<\/span><\/span> began his second term. His tenure reflects a renewed focus on enforcing immigration law and prioritizing the removal of individuals deemed threats to public safety and national security. His actions directly contributed to the restoration of order at the border and the strengthening of the rule of law after years of lax enforcement.\n<\/p>\n

Before leading ICE, Lyons served for two decades within the agency and also brought experience from his time in U.S. Air Force special forces. His leadership has been praised by key administration figures, including Tom Homan<\/span><\/span> and Stephen Miller<\/span><\/span>, both of whom credited him with helping carry out what they describe as a \u201chistoric\u201d effort to secure the nation\u2019s borders.\n<\/p>\n

Lyons claimed in his resignation letter he wanted to step down to spend more time with his family. Let\u2019s pray for him and his family as he steps down, and let\u2019s pray for a courageous, strong believer to take his place!\n<\/p>\n
