Dozens of federal immigration employees stayed in sensitive positions despite security concerns, inspector general reports (opens the original)
Read excerpt
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services let dozens of its employees stay in national security positions even after they were determined to be ineligible for the roles due to security concerns or damaging information about them was uncovered, according to a new watchdog report. The Homeland Security Department, however, countered that the inspector general overstated its conclusions. “Employees found to have criminal records, financial instability or anti-government ideologies may be more susce
$25,000 bonuses for top-performing feds? OPM makes it easier for agencies to award them (opens the original)
Read excerpt
