Will John D. Trasviña Reform ICE OPLA? I Have High Hopes…

In late January 2021 John D. Trasviña was appointed Principal Legal Advisor at ICE.

Here is his ICE bio dated 1-26-21, and here is his Wikipedia entry.

Call it wishful thinking, but I hope he can revamp the ICE legal team from top to bottom and set a new direction, especially regarding who gets put into proceedings and why.

I share your high hopes, Dan!

I dealt with John on occasion in some of my “prior incarnations,” several decades ago. Always found him thoughtful, fair, reasonable, and helpful. Most of all, he was a guy with some compassion and empathy as well as a firm grasp of the “big picture” of immigration policies and their relationship to labor, jobs, the economy, and social and racial justice. Instilling those same qualities in OPLA and ICE would be a fantastic start!

🇺🇸👍🏼⚖️🗽Due Process Forever!
