Cass Sunstein joined the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in February as a senior counselor, tapped to oversee and coordinate rulemaking across all of its agencies.
It’s a blow to progressives who are still critical of his tenure leading the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) during the Obama administration, when they say he stalled much-needed regulations.

This time around, Sunstein and other high-ranking officials are embarking on the monumental task of rolling back around 1,000 immigration measures put in place by the Trump administration.
For an administration that bragged of its deregulatory efforts and forced agencies to strike down two regulations for every new one it put in place, the Trump immigration sphere stands in stark contrast.
LA JOYA, Texas â The 10-year-old boy crossed the Rio Grande with hundreds of other migrants last week. But he was essentially alone.
That is how Christopher Garcia says he managed to travel over the course of three months from his home in one of the world s most dangerous cities â San Pedro Sula, Honduras â to the U.S. border without an adult: by blending into groups of older children and families.
Christopher, a skinny athletic boy with curly brown hair and an impish smile, departed at an age when street gangs that dominate his neighborhood had started to recruit him. His father, who worked at a clothes factory, had tried to migrate to the U.S. himself in the past but was deported the same day he crossed the border.

In February, the new Biden administration came under fire for opening the first of several emergency detention center to house unaccompanied migrant children coming across our nation’s southern border.
A refugee center, no matter how humanely operated, is a woefully inferior alternative to placing these children with stable foster families or relatives, which has been the federal government’s stated goal. But now, with some Border Patrol holding facilities for children standing at 1,640% of capacity, it’s safe to say things aren’t getting any better.
Does the president have an actual plan?
Editorials
The Biden administration, in the new president’s first days in office, commendably ended a cruel Trump administration policy of splitting up families that migrate illegally across the border. Nor would Border Patrol agents any longer turn away unaccompanied minors. But it’s hard to see that the Biden administration has a practical alternative strategy of its own.
