Brian Driscoll , an FBI agent for 18 years , is still reporting for work at the J. Edgar Hoover Building .

He was named as the new FBI director by the incoming Trump administration in January .

He is now assistant director of the Critical Incident Response Group , which handles highly dangerous incidents like riots, terrorist attacks, and takings of hostages.

Driscoll 's time in the spotlight may have protected him from being fired, at least in the short term.

“The welfare checks are a tool and a tactic to entrap people,” says Murad Awawdeh , president of the New York Immigration Coalition .

But as Trump gallops toward authoritarianism, the moment is likely coming when Drizz will again need to take a stand.
