The acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement is a former criminal defense attorney who represented accused and convicted murderers, sex offenders and pedophiles and fought for the release of violent convicted offenders -- a background some critics say makes him a less than ideal choice to lead the federal government's second-largest law enforcement agency.
John Sandweg, 38, who was recently named acting director of ICE, worked between 2002 and 2009 defending violent criminals in Arizona, and helping then-governor and current Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano raise campaign funds. Critics questioned Sandweg's credentials, with one calling him “in no way qualified” and his appointment the latest example of Napolitano's "blatant politicization" of the agency.

The stat that counts is how many were convicted.....all are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
If most were convicted, I would agree you can slime-name him....but don't do it just because he defends them....unless he's really seeking them out for tips!
Meanwhile, he's bad for the country for a number of other reasons...starting with Incompitano's backing!
