The Trump administration has tapped Matthew Albence to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the wake of the sudden resignation of its former leader, BuzzFeed News reports.
Albence became better known after his appearance on Capitol Hill on July 31 during which he said that family detention centers were best described as more like a summer camp, to the shock of some advocates and politicians.
