Mayor Cherelle L. Parker’s administration this week will begin interviewing candidates to be the executive director of the city’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, a high-profile post that has been vacant since the unexpected resignation of Amy Eusebio days after President Donald Trump took office in January. Philadelphia Managing Director Adam K. Thiel on Wednesday told City Council that the administration has “a lot of candidates” to lead the office, and interviews are set to start Thursday evening.
