Border patrol chief and holdover from the earlier administrator was requested to lastly step down

It was the fucking time again. Scott “was enthusiastic about the politics of the then President Trump, in particular about the building of a border wall, ”reports the Los Angeles Times. The Post reported that while former and current colleagues claimed Scott had “given the Biden administration a steady hand for the past few months,” Scott also threw a fit over a Biden memo listing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE ) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have been ordered to stop using the offensive term “illegal alien.” Scott claimed that while he “will not undermine these efforts” he “cannot support them”.

Scott “said he was concerned the changes might politicize the agency,” The American Independent reported in April. Oh, is that so, because under Scott’s supervision, Border Patrol had a propaganda video last year fake anti-immigration statistics and fictional, racist images. Investigative journalist Jean Guerrero tweeted that when she turned to a spokesman for Scott about the false statistics, “he did not deny or respond to her falsehood.”

But he claims it is government officials’ inability to label people as “illegal aliens” that is what politicizes the agency or something. Scott stayed in his job in the new administration even than that LA times reported in February that he was named in an international human rights court accusing officials of covering up the killing of a Mexican migrant on the southern border a decade ago. Scott “signed the subpoena that was part of the alleged cover-up of the border patrol murder of Anastasio Hernandez Rojas, who was fingered, stripped and beaten by a mob of border and customs officers in 2010,” Guerrero tweeted.

CBP said in a statement that after Scott leaves, he will be replaced by Assistant Border Police chief Raul Ortiz, a nearly 30-year veteran with the agency. “Yes, it has to be temporary,” tweeted Jen Budd, a former senior border guard who became a whistleblower. “The racism and brutality of the border patrol will not change as long as their command remains internal.” The Southern Border Communities Coalition tweeted: “[s]oon becomes former Border Patrol chief Rodney Scott has in the past refused to cooperate with investigative agencies into migrant deaths and border patrol agents. It was time for him to go. “

Unfortunately, President Joe Biden’s full budget proposal presented in May did not call for overall cuts in the ICE and CBP agencies. “At the border, Biden’s budget proposal calls for a $ 291 million increase in Border Patrol funding, an overall increase of 6.1%,” said Immigration Impact. “That would push the Border Patrol budget over $ 5 billion for the first time ever.”
