MESA - The top immigration agent in Puerto Rico has been named the fifth temporary chief in 13 months of Phoenix's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office.
Roberto Medina replaces Kent Johansson, who served as the acting chief of ICE since Mike Turner resigned in January.
The Phoenix-based position covers the whole state since the administration of the Tucson and Phoenix ICE offices was combined last year.
Arizona has never had an official permanent chief of ICE since the agency was formed in March 2003 under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security.
Created by merging U.S. Customs and the Immigration and Naturalization Service, ICE is the largest enforcement arm of Homeland Security.
