Errata: Does anyone know what happened to the position of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Global Strategic Affairs? It was given cyber responsibilities when it was created (https://t.co/zJHoUQh5g9) but I no longer see it on the DoD website. I assume I missed a reorg.
OMG, and of course I forgot perhaps the biggest unfilled cyber job of all: National Cyber Director, head of its own new White House office.
How will all the White House cyber officials work together? My read (Biden team mum so far):

▪️ NCD will be USTR-style principal adviser to POTUS.
▪️ Neuberger will oversee NSC's cyber work.
▪️ Sulmeyer will lead/co-lead NSC Cyber Directorate (& presumably report to Neuberger).
To get REALLY into the weeds: Neuberger's title (deputy natsec adviser) seems to place her on same rung as Sherwood-Randall (double title of homeland sec adviser & dep natsec adviser), but it's unclear if Neuberger will report directly to Sullivan or to principal deputy Finer.
Thank you, that's right. I just saw her name earlier today and can't believe I already forgot. My apologies to Ms. Jenkins. https://t.co/sWFivrGoSf

Sitting down to work for the first day of the Biden presidency is a surreal feeling.

So much happened yesterday. I'm going to collect my threads here on yesterday's big immigration news.

First, we got key details of Biden's big immigration


Once Biden had officially taken office, we got the first major action. As part of a standard transition process, the Biden White House froze all regulations which Trump had been trying to finalize at the last hour. I did a thread on what we


Last night we started getting more changes. One of the first was an order telling CBP to stop putting people into the so-called "Migrant Protection Protocols," a cruel program that's left thousands in a dangerous limbo. But there's still more to do!


After that, we began getting the text of immigration executive orders. The first one put onto the White House's website was the order ending the Muslim Ban/Africa Ban and ordering the State Department to come up with a plan for reconsidering


The next immigration executive order put on the White House's website revoked a Trump executive order from January 26, 2017 which made all undocumented immigrants a priority for deportation and directed a DHS-wide review of immigration
