After months of waiting, the Biden administration has hired a former Obama official to help take apart the restrictive immgration policies developed under former President Donald Trump, according to three people familiar with the hiring.

Lucas Guttentag will serve as senior counselor on immigraton policy and report to the Department of Justice’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. He served in the Obama administration as a senior adviser on immigration policy, including as senior counselor to the secretary of Homeland Security.

Biden had planned since the presidential transition to hire a high-ranking official at the Justice Department to focus specifically on immigration policies. But the hiring has taken six months and immigration activists have been frustrated by the delay, eager to begin the dismantling of one of the areas Trump focused on most intently during his four years in office.

The delay fed the impression that Biden’s campaign pledges on immigration had lost out to other priorities, overtaken by the need to tackle Covid-19 and a desire to push massive spending plans to help the country recover from the economic recession.

1. Why does Politico insist on publishing "loaded" statements? No, NOT "after months of waiting"....

They're acting at a time THEY feel is right. Biden and his people know a lot more about what's going on and the appropriate time to do this than some hack at Politico, who probably gets paid by the word.

PS - YMBL, this is directed to the Politico "reporter", certainly not you. Sorry for the rant.

2. Yeah I noticed that too

Figured the news was important enough though in spite of Politico's slant.
