The Trump administration on Friday named a 27-year Border Patrol veteran who has forcefully advocated for the president’s agenda to lead the agency after a surge of asylum-seeking families led to increased scrutiny and unprecedented turmoil on the Mexican border.
Rodney Scott follows Carla Provost, who is retiring. She joined the agency three years after Scott and rose through the ranks on a similar career trajectory.
Mark Morgan, acting commissioner of parent agency Customs and Border Protection, said Scott “brings an exceptional depth and breadth of experience,” knowledge and the respect of agents. His appointment is not subject to Senate confirmation.
