US Border Patrol Chief Resigns; Further Changes in Trump Administration's Immigration Enforcement Team

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks has resigned, marking the latest high-profile departure in the Trump administration's immigration enforcement team. CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott praised Banks, stating the border became the most secure ever under his tenure. During his time, the agency expanded operations into major cities nationwide for immigration sweeps. This resignation follows the removal of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in March and comes as ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons also plans to step down later this month.
