Sen. John Cornyn, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where the eventual nomination will be referred, said: “Lafayette Collins brings outstanding experience to the U.S. Marshal’s office for the Western District of Texas. He will continue the remarkable tradition of ensuring the safety and security of our courtrooms, capturing fugitives, transporting defendants and convicts, and protecting federal witnesses. we are fortunate to have such extraordinary men and women willing to serve in our federal law enforcement system. After discussing this recommendation with the administration, I’m confident that the President will send Mr. Collins’ formal nomination to the Senate for prompt consideration and swift passage.”
