President Donald Trump has nominated a 20-year veteran of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to be its new director. The ATF has been run by interim directors since former Director Steve Dettelbach resigned just before Trump began his second term in January.

The nomination was referred to the Senate’s Judiciary Committee. Cekada has been an ATF deputy director since last April.
