Madison Sheahan, ICE's No. 2 official and a Noem ally, leaving agency to run for Congress

Madison Sheahan, ICE's deputy director for less than a year, is running for Ohio's 9th District to unseat long-time Democrat Marcy Kaptur amid a crowded GOP primary.

  • On Thursday, Madison Sheahan, ICE Deputy Director, is leaving Immigration and Customs Enforcement to run for Congress, two U.S. officials told CBS News.
  • Her rapid rise followed when she was installed in March as ICE deputy director during a Trump administration overhaul after serving Noem and leading Louisiana's Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
  • Sheahan posted on X thanking President Trump and Noem, and Noem said `Madison Sheahan is a work horse, strong executor, and terrific leader' at the Oct. 30, 2025 press conference in Gary, Indiana.
  • The resignation arrives as ICE faces mass protests after the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by agent Jonathan Ross and Democratic lawmakers introduced articles of impeachment against Noem on Wednesday.
  • Noem is publicly showing support for Madison Sheahan as she leaves ICE to run for Congress, with Sheahan’s close ally status likely influencing the congressional campaign and ICE leadership questions.
