Irizarry had pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for entering the US Capitol during the January 6, 2021, insurrection, where he was accused of entering through a broken window with a metal pole. The appointment raised alarms among insiders due to the sensitive nature of the role, which handles missions like counterterrorism and hostage rescues, and Irizarry's past involvement in the riot. The Pentagon defended the hiring, calling Irizarry a "qualified, patriotic young professional," a sentiment echoed by a DOJ official who praised his character and loyalty. Irizarry, who was pardoned by President Donald Trump, had previously apologized for his actions on January 6 but later highlighted his involvement as a conservative credential during an unsuccessful political campaign.
