President Obama intends to nominate Leon Rodriguez to be the new director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Rodriguez has been director of OCR since 2011. OCR has ramped up HIPAA enforcement activities, including piloting a random HIPAA audit program. Rodriguez would be nominated to fill a spot left vacant when Alejandro Mayorkas was narrowly approved by the Senate on Dec. 20 to become new deputy secretary at the Department of Homeland Security. Rodriguez isn’t likely to be leaving OCR soon, says Mac McMillan, CEO of security consultancy.”]
