…Among the people being removed from the #NationalSecurity division is deputy assistant attorney general George Toscas, who has served there since 2006, according to 3 people familiar with the matter. Two people said he was transferred to a newly created *Office of Sanctuary Cities Enforcement* in the associate AG’s office. The office is tasked with identifying ways to enforce federal #immigration laws, a top priority of #Trump’s.

In response to this post…Eun Young Choi, another deputy asst AG in the #NationalSecurity division, & Bruce Swartz, a longtime deputy in the #criminal division who focuses on international affairs, also were removed from their posts & reassigned elsewhere…
Choi was also assigned to the #SanctuaryCities office….Swartz, who has been in the #DOJ >30 years & has served as deputy asst AG of international affairs most of that time, was effectively demoted to be the deputy of the Office of Prosecutorial Development & Training…
…these reassignments were unusual because they were ordered just as #Trump took office, said Mary McCord, a fmr #DOJ official who runs the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown University.
Top deputy positions in the #NationalSecurity division are typically career positions, though it’s possible the Trump administration is reassigning the career people to replace them with #political appointees, she said.
