More Moves on the Chessboard

There will obviously be a lot of revolving-door news trickling in these days: who's staying, who's going, lots of announcements about how transition plans will be handled, etc. Keep tips coming. And every day I'll try to have a roundup of the transition appointments and plans we've heard about. Today's haul:

-Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief Julie Myers will be gone by next Saturday. John Torres, currently Myers' deputy and a career official, will step in for the interim. Myers' next move isn't immediately clear, and she had something of a rough tenure at ICE.

-The Small Business Administration announced today that career officials are both leading the agency's transition efforts and have stepped up to serve in place of outgoing political appointees. Acting Administrator Sandy Baurah has delivered an agency-wide message about transition expectations and met with political appointees to clarify their roles. And there's a big focus on continuity of operations, particularly important given that SBA plays a big role in disaster response.
