"Lyons was admitted overnight during a December incident in Washington after being driven to the hospital by his security detail. A separate episode in September also resulted in at least a one-night hospitalization."
"Those who witnessed the episodes described physical symptoms, including breaking into a full sweat and his face turning deep red. In one instance over the summer in Los Angeles, Lyons became so distressed during an enforcement operation that a bodyguard retrieved a portable defibrillator as a precaution."
"According to multiple people on internal calls, Miller yelled at Lyons over deportation numbers and strategy, interactions one official said would create some significant psychological pressure."
"Lyons, however, disputed that characterization, saying in a statement that Any stress is in no way related to pressure from the White House, and nothing will get in the way of me doing my job."
Todd Lyons, the acting director of ICE, has been hospitalized multiple times due to stress related to his role in enforcing President Trump's immigration agenda. Reports indicate that Lyons has struggled with decision-making and has shown visible signs of distress during operations. Pressure from the White House, particularly from adviser Stephen Miller, has been cited as a contributing factor to his stress. Despite these claims, Lyons has denied that his health issues are related to White House pressure, asserting his commitment to his job.
