The Epoch Times: WASHINGTON—Filling another gap created by a big Department of Homeland Security shakeup, President Donald Trump has tapped former Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“I am pleased to inform all of those that believe in a strong, fair and sound Immigration Policy that Mark Morgan will be joining the Trump Administration as the head of our hard working men and women of ICE,” Trump wrote on Twitter on May 5. “Mark is a true believer and American Patriot. He will do a great job!”
Morgan served as former President Barack Obama’s Border Patrol Chief at the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017. He is also a 20-year veteran of the FBI.
Trump removed Morgan six days after taking office in January 2017 and replaced him with Ronald Vitiello. Subsequently, Vitiello moved to acting director of ICE after Tom Homan retired in June 2018. And now, Morgan will replace Vitiello.
Morgan has been in the public eye about border security in the past few months, vociferously supporting a border wall and the need for Congress to close legal loopholes that are allowing for hundreds of thousands of bogus asylum claims.
In an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times on April 24, Morgan said the current crisis on the border is the “worst in our history.” read more here
Great choice!
And the Marxist Media’s mendacious character assassination of Mark Morgan begins in 3…2…1..
Trump doesn’t think his job is to make the Leftists happy the way so many of his fellow Republicans do.
Lets hear more about returning these scofflaws back over the border. Maybe by doing more of that they’ll get the idea they’re not wanted.
Does anyone else think it’s weird this administration’s DOJ isn’t running guns to Mexican cartels?
Yeah, me neither.
Lets see the left try to talk him down,he was the light bringers choice.
