“I am pleased that the President has appointed Julie Myers as Assistant Secretary for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Tracy Henke as Executive Director of the Office of State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness.  These are critical positions that cannot be left vacant.  The department has worked closely with the Senate to provide prompt and comprehensive responses to their questions throughout the confirmation process.  Both Julie and Tracy have consistently demonstrated that they possess the experience, judgment and determination necessary for these demanding positions.  They have my trust and full support, and I look forward to their contributions to the department’s mission.”
