Politico: “The Biden administration on Wednesday made its first move to set the nation’s immigration courts in a new direction, announcing plans to replace the official who has overseen the system for nearly four years. One week into President Joe Biden’s term, the Justice Department said Jean King will soon take over on an acting basis as director of the Executive Office for Immigration Review. King, a former EOIR general counsel who currently serves as the office’s chief administrative law judge, will replace James McHenry, a close ally of former Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Staffers and judges were informed of the shift Wednesday morning in a memo from Acting Deputy Attorney General John Carlin. ‘Jean will provide continuity in EOIR’s leadership until a new director is selected,’ Carlin wrote, according to a person who received the memo.”
