Texas Sheriff Ed Gonzalez is in line to become the next leader of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a federal law enforcement agency that he resisted working with and criticized during the Trump administration.

President Joe Biden nominated Gonzalez, the Harris County sheriff, as director for ICE on Tuesday. Gonzalez worked for the Houston Police Department for nearly two decades before becoming sheriff, where he spoke out against ICE, a federal agency that is under the Department of Homeland Security and responsible for detaining and deporting immigrants residing in the United States without permission, as well as carrying out major investigations that relate to homeland security.
