Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Acting Ice Chief Todd Lyons To Step Down From Role
Caption: Acting Ice Chief Todd Lyons To Step Down From Role. Todd Lyons is set to step down as head of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the end of May. The announcement was confirmed by Markwayne Mullin, who praised Lyons as a key figure in the administration’s immigration strategy. Lyons has led the agency since March 2025, overseeing a sharp increase in deportations as part of wider enforcement efforts. He is now expected to move into the private sector after nearly two decades in federal service. Before joining ICE, Lyons served in the US Air Force and worked as a police officer. It is not yet clear who will replace him, with Mullin now tasked with finding a successor to lead the agency’s more than 27,000 staff. ICE remains under scrutiny for its central role in the administration’s mass deportation programme. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
