A group of immigration hardliners, including some who worked at an organization that has been described as a hate group by an advocacy watchdog that monitors extremism, have gained powerful posts in the federal agency in charge of administering benefits for immigrants, asylum-seekers and refugees. The appointments at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) follow the recent promotion (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ken-cuccinelli-immigration-hawk-ken-cuccinelli-tapped-as-department-of-homeland-security-no-2/?ftag=YHF4eb9d17) of its former acting director, Ken Cuccinelli, to the second-highest position at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Cuccinelli has been a vocal proponent of measures to restrict both legal and unauthorized immigration.
John Zadrozny, who was a top aide to Cuccinelli, has been promoted to acting chief of staff, while Robert Law, formerly a senior adviser, was named acting chief of policy.
Both Zadrozny and Law have worked for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR (https://www.fairus.org/about-fair?ftag=YHF4eb9d17)), whose stated mission is to "reduce overall immigration to a more normal level," and which has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organization that advocates for progressive issues and monitors the activities of groups it considers extremist.
