Biden’s migration adviser leaves White House role

Pope’s appointment to the White House role was temporary. In March, she was nominated to be the International Organization for Migration Deputy Director General for Management and Reform. Pope previously served in the Obama administration and worked with the British think tank Chatham House.

Pope will be replaced by Tyler Moran, the current special assistant to the President for Immigration for the Domestic Policy Council. In her new role, the White House said, Moran will “focus on implementing the President’s commitment to a well-managed border and a fair and orderly immigration system.”

Moran joined the White House after serving as executive director of the Emerson Collective-funded Immigration Hub. She previously served as senior policy adviser to former Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and in the Domestic Policy Council in the Obama-Biden White House.

“Amy had always intended to join the Biden Administration for a short time with an expected departure in the mid-summer.
