The deputy director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) resigned on Thursday to run for a seat in Congress.
Madison Sheahan left her role as the agency's second-in-command to launch a campaign for a congressional district in Ohio. Her departure comes amid ongoing political debate over US immigration policy.
Sheahan is immediately replaced by Patrick "P.J." Lechleitner, who has been serving as the agency's acting deputy director. Lechleitner is a 25-year veteran of the agency.
