EOIR Director to be Holder’s Chief of Staff

By immigrationprof

Attorney General Eric Holder has chosen UVA law grad Kevin Ohlson as his chief of staff. Ohlson, who is currently the director of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), served as Holder’s chief of staff when he was deputy attorney general. 

The question is who will head up EOIR.  The the quality of BIA and immigration court adjudication and professionalism has been in serious question for years.  See, e.g., this post (one of many) about Judge Posner criticism of the BIA’s analysis.
