Louisiana wildlife agency head to serve as ICE deputy director

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — The head of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries was named to a leadership role for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Sunday that Madison Sheahan will serve as deputy director of ICE. Sheahan worked in various leadership positions for Noem when she was governor of South Dakota.

“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 work horses, 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,” Noem said.

Gov. Jeff Landy wrote on X that it was “no surprise” that Sheahan was chosen for the role.

“I look forward to working with Madison in her new role as she serves under @Sec_Noem. By selecting strong leaders such as Madison, President Trump proves his dedication to making America safe again,” Landry said.

The governor said LDWF Deputy Secretary Tyler Bosworth will take on secretary responsibilities.
