Madison Sheahan, Deputy Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has announced her departure from the agency to pursue a congressional seat in Ohio.

Sheahan, who is also a close ally of former President Donald Trump, will be running for the House of Representatives in Ohio’s 2nd Congressional District. The district is considered a battleground area, with both parties vying for control.

According to reports, Sheahan has been a key figure within ICE and has played a significant role in shaping the agency’s policies under Trump’s administration. Her departure from the agency comes as she seeks to expand her influence into the world of politics.

Sheahan’s decision to leave ICE is seen as a strategic move, as she aims to leverage her experience and connections to build a strong campaign for Congress. The exact timing of her announcement has not been disclosed, but sources close to the matter have confirmed that she will be running for office in Ohio.

As Sheahan embarks on this new chapter in her career, it remains to be seen how her departure from ICE will impact the agency’s operations and policies.
