President Trump plans to install Ken Cuccinelli as the new director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, placing the conservative activist and former Virginia attorney general at the head of the agency that runs the country’s legal immigration system, administration officials said Friday.
McConnell has vowed to block Cuccinelli from getting confirmed for any position, blaming him for leading a 2014 effort defying McConnell that promoted insurgent candidates running against sitting Republican incumbents. And Cuccinelli signed a letter drafted by conservative activists two years ago calling on McConnell to step aside.L. Francis Cissna, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Director speaks during the daily briefing at the White House in December 2017.
Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller has been agitating for Cissna’s removal for months, and he has repeatedly railed about Cissna to the president, saying he is not in favor of the Trump administration’s agenda and has slow-walked some of its biggest initiatives — while not writing enough regulations.
Miller believed Cissna would be fired during the last DHS purge, officials said, but a number of Republican senators — including Iowa Sen. Charles E. Grassley — rallied to Cissna’s defense. A senior White House official said Cissna was temporarily saved after Trump saw how many influential Republicans, and even hard-line immigration hawks, were praising him.
Well having seen this madman operate in Virginia, I can say I’ve never seen a more appropriate vessel for GOPHate than Cuccinelli
Shitty people...
Hello Americans. Here comes another Facist, Racist, Supremacist of Donald Trump's Orange Haired Orangutan. Return to the Lowest recess of the Everglades.
DJT only hires the BEST. *sarcasm intended* This has been the worst cabinet in nearly a century.
Not good at all
States final, here chies life lessons and outa states sided references, blow me
Another sycophant.
Another white supremacist
'Conservative firebrand.' Is that what we're calling stone bigots now?
Since the WaPo is so against it, it must be the right thing to do! Funny how it refers to Ken as an “activist” but it members uses that descriptive word with any democrat in government such as Eric Holder, comey, clapper, Brennan, Ginsburg, or any other activist liberal judge.
Thanks again cnn. You are as destructive as fox.
CyrusToulabi He never stops. Whatever his whim of the moment is. If these people don’t have residence in DC they’d be better off checking into Motel 6 than moving.
They'll be shooting migrants on sight while claiming it's what Jesus wants. Great job, everyone who didn't vote in 2016!
Ken Sounds about as qualified as the guy they wanted to be in charge of the Fed. I guess talk show pundits who kiss the ass of Trump is the only qualifier some need.
OMG
Wow, one of VA’s top racist and devil incarnate KenCuccinelli is being put in charge of immigration ... Lady Liberty weeps again ...
OMG, is that a picture of Cuccinelli indicating he has seen Trump naked ?
What did Ken Cuccinelli ask for.... A private train car and passes to Trump's golf courses?
Seen enough of him on cnn to know he puts a kindly, reasonable face on Deplorable policies. KenCuccinelli
FoxNews TV personalities running America. WakeUpAmerica
👎👎👎👎👎
Cuccinelli’s record includes past statements comparing immigrants to rats; railing against “ILLEGAL aliens;” signing onto an amicus brief in federal court in support of Arizona’s notorious “show me your papers” law as Virginia’s Attorney General...
Want a job in the Trump administration for some reason? Easy, kiss his ass on TV.
CNN are you and FoxNews are you guys Human Resources for the white house?
Why not he only chooses the 'best' crooks.
You can thank CNN for this hack and not the usual foxnews hack that fills Trump administration
Good news for white people who want to immigrate to the US.
There is a legal immigration system? Would be nice to agree this is the correct path.
Gross. Guess we shouldn’t count Corey Stewart out after all if he’s going after the VA racists for his administration. 🙄
