Noem announces new ICE deputy director

Charles Wall, an ICE attorney for 14 years, replaces Madison Sheahan to focus on removing violent criminal illegal aliens amid rising enforcement resistance, DHS said.

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced attorney Charles Wall as the new deputy director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, writing `Effective immediately, Charles Wall will serve as the Deputy Director of @ICEGov`.
  • Wall replaces Madison Sheahan, who stepped down earlier Thursday to pursue a congressional run in Ohio as ICE faced national attention after protests over the Jan. 7 shooting of Renee Good.
  • For the last year, Mr. Wall served as ICE's Principal Legal Advisor, overseeing more than 3,500 attorneys and support staff, and DHS said he prioritizes removing dangerous offenders.
  • DHS described the appointment as part of aligning ICE leadership with Trump administration public-safety priorities, while ICE recently launched a landing page for `worst of the worst` offenders.
  • Sanctuary jurisdictions and activist groups seek to block ICE actions, which administration officials say heightens risks for officers; ICE agents confronted protestors at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, Minneapolis on Jan. 12, 2026.
