The chief of the US Border Patrol said he was leaving his job less than two years into a position that lies in the crosshairs of polarising political debate.
Rodney Scott wrote to agents that he will be reassigned...
In a statement on social media, Mr (Chief) Scott said he had received a letter offering him the options to resign, retire or relocate, without giving him a reason for his removal.
He said the notice came "so the new administration can place the person they want in the position."
Mr (Chief) Scott, a career agent, was appointed chief in January 2020 and enthusiastically embraced then-president Donald Trump's policies, particularly on building a border wall...
Mr (Chief) Scott had refused to fall in line with a Biden administration directive to stop using terms like "illegal alien" in favour of descriptions like "migrant."...
The Border Patrol chief, who heads an agency of nearly 20,000 agents, is appointed by the Customs and Border Protection commissioner and is not subject to US Senate confirmation...
The news came as Vice-President Kamala Harris announced she would make her first visit on Friday to the US-Mexico border since taking office.
Ms Harris will visit the El Paso area, accompanied by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas...
Ms Harris will arrive in the area just days before Mr (President) Trump is to visit the border with a group of House Republicans and Texas governor Greg Abbott, and Mr (President) Trump is certain to use the opportunity to drive Republican attacks on Democrats as soft on immigration.

fraudulent elections have consequences
I wish Republican administrations would do that.
They want some one who will facilitate the processing in of all illegal aliens instead of defending the border from invasion.
Trump’s first two DHS chiefs were open borders advocates, don’t know who recommended them, but suspect it was a Bush League Republican.
This is the stuff Trump should have done to the enemy.
In a statement on social media, Mr (Chief) Scott said he had received a letter offering him the options to resign, retire or relocate, without giving him a reason for his removal.
Democrats are the party of criminals...
Are there any successful Trump policies they haven't changed due to mean tweets?
a democrat would just refuse to go
then finally would be forced out but would raise hell the whole time, and probably file a lawsuit and the media would be saying that democracy is under assault
Cannot reverse the MCUSA trade agreement as it had congressional approval and signed by not just USA but Mexico and Canada. Most of Bidens reversals have come Via the Executive Order.
and take all the “B” and “Hs” off the keyboards
What would happen to land owners in TX if they posted signs on their property that said something like “all trespassers will be shot”?
Just heard a quick sound bite on local Austin radio ..... Some El Paso politician just welcomed Willie’s Whore Harris by saying, “welcome to the new Ellis Island”.
But republican leaders in congress wouldn’t let him do much of anything while russia russia russia was going on and that lasted three years, then it was impeachment, then election year. McConnell, Grassley, Graham ensured him if he did anything like trying to drain the swamp, he would surely be impeached and convicted.
Sentimentality has zero place in leadership.
This is true. I hope Trump and other Republicans understand this and do this. No reason required. Anyone hired by a Democrat administration should be fired. Not reassigned. No option of resigning. You come into office on day one and fire their asses. The list is prepared during the transition and executed the very first day in office. No need to worry about continuity. We will certainly be better off with government agencies running around with their heads cut off.
That’s about the size of it.
“They want some one who will facilitate the processing in of all illegal aliens instead of defending the border from invasion.”
Absolutely.
They may have done this now, because they fear what he might say (the truth) in front of a camera, when Kamala Harris has her photo op at the border in a few days.
“I still cringe at the thought when Ivanka was in the White House.”
It was a diverse team. Different tools, for different tasks.
Ivanka was a star, when it came to outreach to bring Democrat voters over to the Republican column - particularly significant impacts among Jews and Indians, as well as women generally.
India is the only significant counterweight to China in many ways, and Ivanka was a hit as a Bollywood-like celebrity in India. Jared delivered the Abraham Accords in the Middle East.
When it came to immigration, he had rock solid Stephen Miller.
He matched talents to tasks, but there were a lot of RINOs at heart that he had to go through, who were only unveiled once put to the test.
