Summary
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced new leadership appointments within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and pledged to increase polygraph tests for employees to identify those leaking information about enforcement operations to the media. Noem emphasized the use of all available authorities to ensure the law is followed and that President Trump's deportation agenda is carried out.

Todd Lyons, former assistant director of field operations at ICE, was appointed acting ICE director, while Madison Sheahan, former aide to Noem, was named deputy director. These changes come amid frustrations over the slow pace of immigration arrests.

Noem also revealed that two individuals involved in leaking information about planned enforcement operations have been identified, and they could face up to 10 years in federal prison.
