Former Acting ICE Chief Lyons joins defense contractor
Former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement acting Director Todd Lyons has joined Navigators Security and Defense as senior vice president for U.S. homeland security and international affairs.
The company confirmed to NPR that Lyons will advise clients on “U.S. homeland defense strategy, interagency operations, and international security,” the outlet reported Wednesday.
The company told NPR it does not engage in lobbying activities and said Lyons is barred from engaging with the Department of Homeland Security for one year under federal law.
Navigators Security and Defense is a subsidiary of Navigators Global, a lobbying firm whose clients include General Motors, the New York Jets, and GEO Group, a private prison contractor that operates immigration detention centers across the country, including Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey.
“Lyons brings more than three decades of law enforcement leadership and military expertise in support of Navigators Security and Defense clientele,” the company said.
