FAIR Blasts Appointment of Sanctuary City Advocate to Become ICE’s Top Prosecutor

In a letter on behalf of tens of millions of involved residents who make up the group, FAIR President Dan Stein just lately wrote in sturdy opposition to the appointment of Kerry Doyle to grow to be U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Principal Authorized Advisor. Doyle assumed the place in late September, shortly earlier than the Division of Homeland Safety (DHS) directed ICE to guard almost all unlawful aliens from elimination.

Principal Authorized Advisor is a vital position on the nation’s
immigration enforcement company, overseeing 25 discipline places and 1,250
attorneys. The workplace represents ICE in all elimination proceedings and litigates
instances towards unlawful aliens, criminals, terrorists, and different aliens who
in any other case pose nationwide safety or public security threats to america.
The place calls for somebody who’s dedicated to immigration enforcement and
the rule of legislation.

“The individual on this place should be an neutral public
servant who can correctly steadiness competing priorities within the public sphere,
possessing no expertise in aggressive, ideological advocacy,” Stein charged.
“As a substitute, [Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas] appointed an immigration
legal professional who helps open-borders insurance policies and is brazenly hostile to the core
features of the workplace she’s going to lead.”

Doyle is an immigration legal professional and mass immigration
activist out of Boston, Massachusetts who famously co-filed the lawsuit towards
the Trump administration’s journey ban in 2017 that barred immigration from a
handful of dangerous nations.

She additionally advocated for a Massachusetts invoice that restricted
state and native legislation enforcement cooperation with ICE. On this push, she argued
that ICE was “uncontrolled,” for imposing immigration legal guidelines. The
measure would have utilized sanctuary metropolis legal guidelines statewide and sharply restricted
the state’s cooperation with the federal authorities on the deportation of
unlawful aliens, together with criminals. Moreover, she represented unlawful aliens
with felony convictions in quite a lot of instances.

“Whereas these are solely a handful of alarming examples of her
work, it’s clear that Kerry Doyle is the incorrect individual for the place on the
worst potential time,” Stein added. “Please re-think this resolution and as an alternative
focus your efforts on addressing the border disaster and imposing our legal guidelines.”

September 29, 2021

The Honorable Alejandro Mayorkas

Secretary of Homeland Safety

Washington, D.C. 20528

Expensive Secretary Mayorkas,

On behalf of tens of millions of involved residents who make up the
Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), I write to specific our
sturdy opposition to the appointment of Kerry Doyle to grow to be U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Principal Authorized Advisor.

Moreover, we urge you to re-examine all immigration company appointments given the failure of this
administration to stop or resolve the self-inflicted disaster on the southern
border. Political appointees and the insurance policies they implement are in charge for
what is going on on the border. This begins and ends with you. 

As you realize, Principal Authorized Advisor is a vital position at
ICE, overseeing 25 discipline places and 1,250 attorneys. The workplace represents
ICE in all elimination proceedings and litigates instances towards unlawful aliens,
criminals, terrorists, and different aliens who in any other case pose nationwide safety or
public security threats to america. The Principal Authorized Advisor
place requires an unwavering dedication to immigration enforcement and the
rule of legislation with the intention to maintain our communities protected and protect the integrity of
the system. The individual on this place should be an neutral public servant who
can correctly steadiness competing priorities within the public sphere, possessing no
expertise in aggressive, ideological advocacy. As a substitute, you appointed an
immigration legal professional who helps open-borders insurance policies and is brazenly hostile
to the core features of the workplace she’s going to lead.

Ms. Doyle labored as a co-counsel within the litigation that
demanded— and gained — a brief restraining order towards the federal government’s
mandatory journey ban in 2017. Later, in early 2020, she advocated for a
Massachusetts invoice that restricted state and native legislation enforcement cooperation
with ICE. On this push, she argued that ICE was “uncontrolled,” for
imposing immigration legal guidelines towards detachable aliens in america. The
measure would have utilized sanctuary metropolis legal guidelines statewide and sharply restricted
the state’s cooperation with the federal authorities on the deportation of
unlawful aliens, together with criminals. She additionally represented unlawful aliens with
felony convictions, and just lately filed a petition with the ACLU to launch
felony aliens on the idea of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Whereas these are solely a handful of alarming examples of her
work, it’s clear that Kerry Doyle is the incorrect individual for the place on the
worst potential time. Please re-think this resolution and as an alternative focus your
efforts on addressing the border disaster and imposing our legal guidelines.

Sincerely,

Dan Stein

President
