Julián Castro: Alejandro Mayorkas will lead DHS with ‘common sense and compassion’

Julián Castro, former secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Obama, tells Lawrence O’Donnell President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are “living up to their promise to appoint a cabinet that looks like America.” That includes the nomination of Alejandro Mayorkas as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, someone Castro says “has the experience, the know-how, but also has lived an immigrant’s American dream story.”
