Immigration advocates are livid over the Biden transition team’s addition of Cecilia Muñoz, a former Obama administration official who was the public face of that administration’s immigration policy.
Muñoz, who once served as the head of former President Obama’s White House Domestic Policy Council, was named by the Biden campaign Friday as part of a group of eight new senior transition advisers.
The pick was quickly criticized by immigration reform advocates, a reaction that exhibited both ideological divides within the Democratic Party and a lingering resentment felt by many immigration advocates over the actions of the Obama administration, particularly in its first term.
“Huge mistake. Huge. Huge mistake. Worst part? We have no other option. I guess we gotta pick our opponent. That’s what it has come down to,” wrote Erika Andiola, an immigrant rights activist and advocacy director for The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services.
Muñoz, a policy expert who cut her teeth at UnidosUS, then known as the National Council of La Raza, before joining the Obama administration, became a lightning rod for criticism of Obama’s immigration policy.
“If Biden wins, no one from the Obama administration should be allowed to touch the immigration policy portfolio,” said Pablo Manríquez, a former Democratic National Committee spokesman who’s been overtly critical of Obama on immigration.
“Cecilia Muñoz is the one person besides [Trump White House aide] Steven Miller who has spent years of her public service dedicated to the smooth execution of mass deportation policy at the West Wing level,” said Manríquez.
Muñoz could not be reached for comment on this story.

Good candidate for export (one way) to Venezuela.
Even the La Raza types are not radical enough?
Biden promised to suspend immigration law, extending the lawless “sanctuary” policies of his party nationwide.
They are salivating over the chance to end the USA once and for all.
You are correct, Sir! (Or Madam)
They obviously want not just amnesty for those already here, but instant citizenship for anyone who crosses the border.
They have every intention of winning, by whatever means necessary.
FIFY.
I guess Obama wasn’t communist enough for these people. Let that sink in.
More ‘boots on the ground’ more votes for Dems.
Is she the one who came up with the kids-in-cages idea that the Dims tried to pin on Pres. Trump?
Exactly
That needs to be seen and heard by Latin-American and radical, young Democrats from now until the election. The news about Cecilia Muñoz must be kept fresh, alive and disseminated until November 3rd!
