Her twelve years as a lead prosecutor make her an outstanding choice to serve as a U.S. Attorney.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency’s 2008 raid on the Agriprocessor plant in Postville, Iowa, should in no way hold up Ms. Rose’s confirmation. The Bush administration’s failed enforcement-only approach to immigration policy was the cause of the Postville raid and its aftermath. That enforcement-only approach—directed from Washington, DC—created more problems than it solved in numerous communities.

Ms. Rose deserves to be confirmed by the entire Senate.
