The National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA) applauds the historic confirmation of the first Latino, first immigrant and first child of Holocaust survior refugees to become secretary of the federal agency tasked with implementing immigration law. Mayorkas' confirmation signals a move away from the Trump administration's draconian and deadly policies and adopt a more rational and humane approach to federal implementation of immigration laws.
