“With President Trump’s support, I am appointing new ICE leadership to deliver results that President Trump and the American people rightfully demand: Todd Lyons will serve as Acting ICE Director and Madison Sheahan as Deputy Director of ICE. Todd Lyons and Madison Sheahan are workhorses, strong executors, and accountable leaders who will lead the men and women of ICE to achieve the American people’s mandate to target, arrest and deport illegal aliens.”

As the FOD for the Boston Field Office, Mr. Lyons oversaw all ERO activities within the states of Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Vermont. Mr. Lyons also served as an Assistant Field Office Director (AFOD) in ERO Dallas from April 2015 to Sept 2017 and served as the Chief of Staff for the ERO Dallas Field Office Director from Aug 2014 to March 2015.

Mr. Lyons began his career in federal service with the United States Air Force in 1993. In August 1999, Mr. Lyons began his civilian law enforcement career in the State of Florida. In April 2007, Mr. Lyons joined ERO as an Immigration Enforcement Agent in Dallas, TX.
