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

Madison Sheahan, the No. 2 official at Immigration and Customs Enforcement and close ally of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, is leaving the agency to run for Congress, two U.S. officials familiar with the move told CBS News on Thursday.

Sheahan was installed as ICE's deputy director in March, when the Trump administration overhauled the agency's leadership amid increased pressure for officials to ramp up immigration arrests and deportations across the country.

In a statement to CBS News, Noem confirmed Sheahan's departure. She said Sheahan would be "a great defender of freedom when she goes to Congress," noting she has known her for years.

"Madison Sheahan is a work horse, strong executor, and terrific leader who led the men and women of ICE to achieve the American people's mandate to target, arrest, and deport criminal illegal aliens," Noem added. "We wish her all the best."

Because ICE has more than enough No. 2 if you know what I mean.
