CBPCBP IA’s Janine Corrado and Jeffrey M. Matta leave agency for new positions

Janine Corrado and Jeffrey M. Matta are leaving CBP IA to assume other positions outside of CBP IA.

Corrado, most recently the Chief of Staff at CBP IA, will receive a promotion to the position of Chief of Staff for Gregory Marshall, Chief Security Officer at the Department of Homeland Security. Corrado has been employed at CBP IA since selected from the U.S. Secret Service by James F. Tomscheck, former Deputy Director of the CBP IA.

A request for confirmation from a spokesperson from CBP did not elicit a response.

Matta is leaving his job as the Director of the Integrity Programs Division as of 1 December, 2014, to take a position in the Office of Field Operations at CBP. He worked for seven years at the CBP Office of Internal Affairs where he first served as the Deputy Director of the Integrity Programs Division under the leadership of Janine Corrado. Corrado served as the former Director of the Integrity Programs Division before taking her position as COS at CBP IA.

James F. Tomscheck, who handpicked Corrado from the Secret Service and held the senior leadership position at CBP IA, turned federal whistleblower in June 2014. While doing so, Tomscheck publically criticized CBP agents and officers as well as other CBP officials who were his superiors.

In two recent HSNW articles, Robert Lee Maril detailed the charges by J. Gregory Richardson, a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy (Retired) who worked at CBP IA, that Tomscheck, Corrado, and Matta ignored his status as a disabled veteran despite extensive documentation of his medical condition. Richardson says that their refusal to make the accommodations necessitated by his disability amounted to discrimination (see Maril, “Vet alleges supervisors at CBP IA ignored his disability: ‘He Just needed an ounce of compassion’” — Pt. 1, HSNW, 28 October 2014; and “James F. Tomscheck forced disabled veteran from CBP IA – Pt. 2,” HSNW, 24 November 2014).
