The acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement is a former criminal defense attorney who represented accused and convicted murderers, sex offenders and pedophiles and fought for the release of violent convicted offenders -- a background some critics say makes him a less than ideal choice to lead the nation's second-largest law enforcement agency.
John Sandweg, 38, who was recently named acting director of ICE, worked between 2002 and 2009 defending violent criminals in Arizona, and helping then-governor and current Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano raise campaign funds.

I dunno. With what many murders, crimes, and sex offenses being committed by illegals - it might seem prudent that the ICE Director be acustomed to working with them.
He got them off once. Now he can green-light their entry into the US.
All defendants are entitled to legal representation. I don’t have a problem with this guy having been a criminal defense attorney.
But being a bag man for Big Sis? That I have a problem with.
He was probably just helping out members of his family, pro bono.
