Madison Sheahan Resigns as ICE Deputy Director to Launch Congressional Bid in Ohio
Madison Sheahan, the 28-year-old Deputy Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), resigned her position on January 15, 2026, to run for Congress in Ohio’s 9th District. Her decision marks a high-profile political pivot as she challenges long-serving Democrat Marcy Kaptur. Sheahan previously served as Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries before joining ICE under Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Known for her firm support of conservative immigration policies, Sheahan's congressional bid has drawn national attention from both supporters and critics. The move also follows recent ICE controversies that placed the agency under public scrutiny, adding further weight to her campaign messaging on border security and law enforcement.
