Update: 2025-11-19
Description
A Democrat senator has fired a staffer accused of impersonating an immigration attorney to help facilitate a criminal illegal migrant’s release from custody.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday accused Edward York — then employed as a constituent outreach coordinator for Illinois Democrat Sen. Tammy Duckworth — of falsely claiming to be the lawyer of a 40-year-old illegal immigrant to federal officials in order to gain access to the individual and push for his release from custody. Duckworth on Monday confirmed that her office had no prior knowledge of the incident and has since terminated York’s employment, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
