Citizenship and Immigration Services union blasts Trump's pick to head agency

Source: The Hill

The head of a union representing US Citizenship and Immigration Services employees on Sunday blasted President Trump's reported pick to head the agency.

"The resignation of Francis Lee Cissna as Director of USCIS and the possible appointment of Ken Cuccinelli as his successor spells the end of legal immigration as it currently exists," Danielle Spooner, the president of the American Federation of Government Employees union representing USCIS employees, said in a statement to CNN.

"It has become clear that the goal of this Administration is to end immigration all together. How better to do that then by appointing as the leader of USCIS someone who knows nothing about immigration, Adjustment of Status or Naturalization, and whose sole purpose is to destroy the agency that grants these benefits."

Trump is reportedly expected to appoint Cuccinelli, who served as Virginia's Attorney General between 2010 and 2014, to head USCIS.
