(CNN)The UN migration agency on Friday voted down Ken Isaacs, the Trump administration's candidate to lead the International Organization for Migration, a US official told CNN, leaving it without an American at the helm since 1951.
Isaacs once wrote on Twitter that Austria and Switzerland should consider building a wall in the Alps to keep refugees out.
"#immigration #wall #Austria #Switzerland consider#buildingawall in #Alps to control their borders from refugees," Isaacs tweeted.
The tweet is one of more than 140 previously unreported tweets from before Isaacs was nominated reviewed by CNN's KFile.

Giuliani, Gingrich to address controversial Iranian group
The Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, formerly considered a terrorist group, has several friends close to Trump and is seeing some of its longtime goals advanced.

Two close confidants of President Donald Trump are scheduled to speak Saturday before a controversial Iranian opposition group previously designated as a terrorist outfit, raising fresh questions about the groups Washington influence as Trump pursues a pressure campaign against Tehran.
Trumps personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and informal adviser Newt Gingrich are listed as headliners for Saturdays Free Iran conference in Paris, organized by the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq and its affiliates. For 15 years, the U.S. designated the MEK a terrorist group, while analysts describe it as a cult both allegations the group rejects.
The MEK holds frequent conferences, but this weekends gathering comes at a heady moment for the group. Several of the politicians it has cultivated in recent years, with the help of handsome speaking fees, are now key figures in Trumps orbit including not only Giuliani and Gingrich but National Security Adviser John Bolton.
Trump has also taken several steps in line with the groups desire to oust Irans Islamist rulers. They include Trumps exit from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which the MEK repeatedly criticized, and increased sanctions and other pressure that some Trump aides hope will weaken the regime in Tehran.
Here's your answer to the "Where's Rudy Been?" question. And, oh...he's bringin' NEWT with him.

In addition to sending thoughts and prayers, perhaps you can ask your husband to stop demonizing reporters as "the enemy of the people."

Maxine Waters says she's faced increased threats, cancels attending 2 events
Maxine Waters says she's faced increased threats, cancels attending 2 events
(CNN)Rep. Maxine Waters said Thursday she's seen an increase in threats since she made controversial comments last week encouraging protesters to heckle and harass members of Trump's Cabinet in public spaces.
The California Democrat canceled two scheduled appearances in Alabama and Texas this weekend after saying she got threatening messages and "hostile mail" at her office, including "one very serious death threat" on Monday from an individual in Texas.
"As the President has continued to lie and falsely claim that I encouraged people to assault his supporters, while also offering a veiled threat that I should 'be careful', even more individuals are leaving (threatening) messages and sending hostile mail to my office," she said in a statement.
"There was one very serious death threat made against me on Monday from an individual in Texas which is why my planned speaking engagements in Texas and Alabama were cancelled (sic) this weekend," she continued. "This is just one in several very serious threats the United States Capitol Police are investigating in which individuals threatened to shoot, lynch, or cause me serious bodily harm."
