Lyons' resignation comes within hours of a hearing on Capitol Hill where the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement leader told lawmakers that at least 44 people have died in agency custody since he began his acting tenure in March 2025. The number of people who have died in ICE custody during Trump’s second term is the highest in the agency’s lifetime.
