White House Withdraws ICE Nominee, RFK Jr Backs Anti-Vaxxers

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Trump should pick an ICE director with actual immigration enforcement experience instead of a political pawn like Schroyer.
💡 Why it matters
With measles deaths rising and ICE leadership in limbo, these actions simultaneously undermine public health efforts and immigration enforcement accountability.

The White House withdrew Lance Schroyer's nomination to lead ICE after a Republican senator blocked the vote. Health Secretary RFK Jr told anti-vaccine activists they have a 'friend at the White House' amid a deadly measles outbreak that has killed multiple people.
