Printed page 568 17. Department of Justice

“Ensure the deployment and use of appointees throughout the department who are committed to successful achievement of the department’s immigration-related missions. This includes personnel in or overseeing not only the EOIR, but also the Office of the Attorney General, Office of the Deputy Attorney General, Office of the Associate Attorney General, Office of the Solicitor General, and nearly every other component/office throughout the department.”

    No allowlisted record shows appointees placed across the department on immigration missions. `src/data/people.json` carries no Current office matching this ask. Searched the department's headquarters press output for the window, the whitehouse.gov presidential-actions Corpus and the congress.gov nominations Corpus for Justice Department appointments framed around immigration enforcement in the offices the Quote lists — the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, Associate Attorney General, Solicitor General and EOIR. EOIR's hiring in the window is career adjudicators, not the political appointees the Quote asks for. **Unassessed clause:** the Quote asks for appointees "who are committed to successful achievement of the department's immigration-related missions", which names a quality of a person, and this site does not assess an appointee's personal qualities (GLOSSARY.md, *Unassessed clause*). Setting that clause aside does not lift the rung, and it is worth saying why: the checkable half is not "does the Justice Department have political appointees", which would be trivially true and is not what the Mandate asked. It is whether appointees were *deployed on the immigration mission* across the offices the Quote lists, and nothing in the allowlisted record shows that placement.
