ICE Poised for Reform as Biden Nominee Heads to Senate for Confirmation Vote.

Posted on September 1, 2021 by sethlerner1964

ICE is set to get its first Senate-confirmed leader in nearly five years this fall, laying groundwork for reform within the agency. The Senate is prepared to vote on Biden’s nominee to lead ICE – Texas Sheriff Ed Gonzalez – who has worked with ICE in the past, but has also taken a moderate approach to immigration enforcement. While the Biden administration has already announced new guidelines for the agency, implementing them and others will fall to the new director. Gonzalez will need a simple majority vote to be confirmed in the fall.

Biden nominates Texas sheriff to run ICE.

Posted on July 28, 2021 by sethlerner1964

Ed Gonzalez, President Biden’s nominee to head ICE, faced questions from Senate committee members Thursday during a confirmation hearing. Gonzalez struck a moderate tone on immigration enforcement that seemed to appeal even to some Republican lawmakers. If confirmed, Gonzalez would be the first Senate-confirmed leader of the agency since early 2017, and his nomination comes as Biden attempts to move ICE away from the enforcement policies of former President Trump. Gonzalez’s nomination is expected to pass out of the committee with Democratic votes, but the question remains how much, if any, support he will find from Republicans.
