Fox News - Two key lawmakers have written President Obama to express "extreme concern" over his choice for acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, citing John Sandweg's "critically thin" experience in law enforcement.
The letter, signed by House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul, R- Texas, and Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., who chairs the committee’s Oversight and Management Efficiency Subcommittee, went out just days after FoxNews.com published an exclusive story exploring Sandweg's close ties to outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and his experience as a criminal defense attorney.
“A litany of concerning allegations has been raised against Mr. Sandweg,” reads the letter. “Perhaps the most concerning is the clear political partisanship displayed throughout his career.”
The letter notes that Sandweg, 38, now heads the principal investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security, and oversees 20,000 employees and an annual budget of almost $6 billion despite a "gaping lack of experience."
