You Are a New Hire at the Assistant Attorney General's

Essay

You are a new hire at the Assistant Attorney General's office, and the child of Syrian Immigrants. You were the first child in your family to graduate college, and you have made every effort to assimilate into your new culture. Your boss wants you to be the public face of the department in its new effort to punish "sanctuary cities." You are strongly personally against the new program, but want to advance in your department, where you think you will be able to do more good. You also aren't sure whether you are actually qualified for the job you are being asked to do. What are the ethical dilemmas at play here, and how will you resolve them?
