As a way to skirt #legal #protections afforded to career staffers, many of the officials were transferred to other positions inside #Justice, where they would probably have less influence on the department’s big decisions, the people said. The ofcls will have to decide whether to stay in their new assignments or leave the agency.

In response to this post…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.

…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…
