Politico - A Department of Homeland Security watchdog report issued Tuesday
blasted the agency’s No. 2 official for repeatedly intervening on behalf
of well-connected participants in an investor-visa program, including
Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-Va.) and Tony Rodham, a brother of former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The inspector general report faults Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for creating “an appearance of favoritism and special access” as a result of highly unusual steps he took while serving as director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which oversaw the investment-based program known as EB-5.
“Mayorkas communicated with stakeholders on substantive
issues, outside of the normal adjudicatory process and intervened with
the career USCIS staff in ways that benefited the stakeholders,”
Inspector General John Roth wrote. “In … three instances, but for Mr.
Mayorkas’s intervention, the matter would have been decided
differently.”
