ICE Acting Director Resigns

The leadership of ICE is set for a major transition as Todd Lyons prepares to leave his post after 14 months.

Lyons oversaw a massive infusion of cash into the agency, which was used to double its force and ramp up arrests across the country.

His tenure was marked by significant controversy, including investigations into hiring practices and the use of excessive force by agents.

While Lyons claims he is leaving on his own terms, his departure comes as the administration faces mounting legal challenges over its immigration policies.
