From The Epoch Times:
David Venturella is set to become the next acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson confirmed to The Epoch Times on Tuesday.
Venturella will succeed acting director Todd Lyons, who will leave the agency at the end of May, DHS announced last month. Lyons, a two-decade veteran of the agency, was named acting director in March 2025 by then-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and was tasked with executing the Trump administration’s enforcement of federal immigration laws.
…
Venturella’s career in immigration enforcement spans nearly four decades.
The incoming acting director has held numerous leadership positions throughout his career, including overseeing ICE detention and removal operations and directing the Secure Communities program, which used biometric data-sharing to identify illegal immigrants booked into local jails. Venturella also previously testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, emphasizing that strong immigration enforcement and compassion for immigrants are not mutually exclusive.
His appointment comes as the Trump administration continues efforts to strengthen immigration enforcement while reducing public attention surrounding ICE operations. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin recently said the administration wants ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents to be able to carry out their duties “without being harassed by the media.”
Immigration remains one of the defining issues facing the nation, and ICE is on the front lines. Let’s pray for wisdom and discernment for those tasked with protecting America’s borders and enforcing the law, and let’s pray for courage, strength, and boldness for the agency’s incoming acting director!

Lord Jesus, please also silence the mouth of the enemy, specifically the mainstream media spewing lies and hate regarding those trying to do their jobs and enforce the law!! We ask You to send legions of angels to protect ICE and pour out Your Holy Spirit on them, giving them wisdom to handle each situation. We pray in the mighty name of Jesus.
Lord May David V humble himself before you, seeking your wisdom and your direction in his new role. May you protect him and all ice agents from any harm or evil. In Jesus name
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the work previously done under Todd Lyons and the officers that reported/worked under him.
