• Lyons oversaw approximately 584,000 deportations during his tenure.
• DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin credited Lyons with jumpstarting an agency that had been sidelined for four years.
• Lyons is a 20-year agency veteran and a former member of the U.S. Air Force special forces.

The leadership change marks a pivotal moment for an agency tasked with removing violent criminals and terrorists from American soil.

Lyons said his decision to step down was driven by a desire to focus on his family.

Secretary Mullin praised the director for his commitment to public safety and constitutional order.

"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 stated.

The administration must now find a successor who will maintain this aggressive stance against illegal activity.

Securing the border and enforcing our laws remains the primary duty of the federal government.

The Constitution must be defended.
