ICE acting director Todd Lyons resigns

His departure comes amid ongoing controversies and funding questions surrounding the agency, including a backlash over the deaths of protesters in Minneapolis.

Lyons stated he is leaving 'on his own terms' after a year of leading the agency through a period of rapid recruitment and expansion.

DHS officials have not yet named a successor for the critical role as the administration readies for the midterm elections.

The resignation marks a significant leadership shakeup within the Trump administration's immigration enforcement team.
