FWD.us President Joe Green has resigned as head of the tech-backed immigration reform group, according to a blog post from the organization.
Green had led FWD.us since its founding in 2013 as tech leaders poured millions into the immigration advocacy group started by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Greens departure comes as congressional efforts to reform the nations immigration laws have stagnated. And President Barack Obama has said executive action on that front will wait until after the midterms.
Re/code, which first revealed Greens departure, reported that he was pushed out of the top spot.
While FWD.us has achieved important milestones in the fight to reform immigration laws, Joe and the Board agreed a change in leadership was necessary, the group wrote in the Friday blog post.
A FWD.us spokeswoman did not immediately return a request for comment.
Todd Schulte, the groups executive director and former chief of staff at super PAC Priorities USA, will serve as acting president.
Obama is expected to unveil a broad immigration reform executive order after the November elections, but the exact scope of that effort remains unclear. Tech companies are seeking more visas for high-skilled foreign workers.

The Nackey Loeb School of Communications has announced that general admission and VIP package tickets to its annual First Amendment honors event, with featured speaker Donald Trump, are available at http://www.loebschool.org. A small number of sponsorship opportunities remain as well.
The early evening event is on Nov. 12 at the Radisson in downtown Manchester. The 12th annual honors program, it will highlight individuals or groups that have used their First Amendement freedoms in some important way in the past year.
Previous honorees have included an outspoken school board member, a former state attorney general, and reporters or editors from newspapers such as the Nashua Telegraph, Portsmouth Herald, and Keene Sentinel. This year's honorees are expected to be announced within a few weeks.
Businessman Trump is known as much for his business-reality TV series as for his mega-deals. But he has also been mentioned for political office, from governor of New York to the White House, an address he has not ruled out.
His last New Hampshire appearance, a Politics and Eggs breakfast at St. Anselm College, drew a record crowd.
Tickets for the event, which begins with receptions at 5:30 p.m., range from $75 to $150.
