Mora Namdar, whose parents are Iranian immigrants, was sworn as the State Department’s new assistant secretary for the Bureau of Consular Affairs
Donald Trump has promoted Mora Namdar — an attorney, part-time salon owner and former Project 2025 author — in a senior role that oversees visa approvals, issuing passports, and is responsible for the welfare of U.S. citizens overseas.
Namdar, of Texas, whose parents are Iranian immigrants, was sworn in this week as the State Department’s new assistant secretary for the Bureau of Consular Affairs after working on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and North Africa within the agency.
The 38-year-old’s new role could see her deciding the fates of migrants applying for visas who have been critical of the Trump administration, according to testimony she gave before a Senate committee in October.
Sure, Republican. We’ll, at least I know you weren’t reading my history, or this comment thread, before you spouted that nonsense.
The whole point of everything I’ve said in this post is, people you disagree with can still be competent, and denying such is only going to make you less prepared when they exercise that competence in ways you disagree with.
Literally no one working with Trump is.
Going in giving one of his sycophants the benefit of the doubt is just ignoring the actual reality if the situation.
