Sebastian's wife....
Washington (CNN)Katharine Gorka, a political appointee at the Department of Homeland Security who has stirred controversy for her views on terrorism and her role in the department's efforts to combat violent extremism in the US, is expected to be the new press secretary at Customs and Border Protection.
Acting CBP Commissioner John Sanders told CNN Tuesday that Gorka is expected to take the position and he advocated for her to join the agency.
The move comes as President Donald Trump continues his rhetoric against undocumented immigrants and the increasing number of migrants crossing the southern border and claiming asylum.
Customs and Border Protection is the agency responsible for policing the US borders and facilitating legal trade and travel. It is also the frontline agency dealing with the surge of migrants at the southern border. If Gorka steps into this new role, she will be taking on the pubic face of the agency at the center of the President's attention, which has been struggling with capacity and resource issues.

Katie is much more dangerous than Sebastian, said Eric Rosand, a former senior State Department official responsible for programs on Countering Violent Extremism, or CVE. She played a significant role in denying CVE grant funding to groups that work to de-radicalize neo-Nazis and other far right extremists and Muslim-American groups that work to build resilience against violent extremism, but without the involvement of the police.

Theyve been working together as a research team for many years, said James Carafano, a vice president at the conservative Heritage Foundation who has known the Gorkas for more than 15 years.
Theyre kind of like Kim and Fred Kagan, he said, referring to a well-known neoconservative power couple. One brain and two bodies.

It's because of these subhuman fucking monsters like Gorka and Miller that we're actually having debates right now whether "detention centers" are actually concentration camps or not. Just fuck them! The only thing that I want to hear about anyone with the last name Gorka is that they're dead or in jail. And that's the nicest thing I can say.
