Trump Appoints Border Patrol Veteran Rodney Scott as CBP Commissioner to Implement Remain-in-Mexico Policy
Dec 6, 2024, 02:32 AM
President Donald Trump has appointed Rodney S. Scott, a seasoned Border Patrol veteran with nearly three decades of service, as the new commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Scott, who previously served as the 24th Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol under Trump, was instrumental in implementing policies like the 'remain-in-Mexico' program. His appointment comes after a period of what has been described as an 'exhausting' border crisis during the Biden administration, where he was considered a casualty. Scott's extensive experience in law enforcement and border security, along with his previous tenure under Trump, is seen as a significant asset in addressing the challenges at the U.S. border. The Border Patrol chief has expressed excitement about Scott's appointment, citing his qualifications.
