Biden's Border Woes: Border Chief Resigns

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus resigned Saturday, a day after he revealed that Biden administration officials had wanted him to leave his role.

Magnus had said Friday that he would not comply with the request to step down, which he said came from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas. Magnus, who is known as a progressive law enforcement leader, struggled to establish a public profile after his Senate confirmation in December.

The Los Angeles Times is reporting the Biden Administration is reeling from staggering numbers of illegal immigrants flooding over the southern border unabated. 

In the last fiscal year, which ended in September, Customs and Border Protection recorded more than 2 million encounters with migrants at the border — a record high.

This is a developing story.
