Even as former President Donald Trump has left office, many individuals that he has appointed appear to remain in their positions until told to leave. Among them was the US Border Patrol chief, who was told to step down by the Biden administration.
The head of the US Border Patrol, Rodney Scott, received a notice from the Biden administration to step down from his post. Scott was in the position less than two years since he was appointed by Trump. Scott told agents that he will be reassigned.
Scott shared a statement on social media that the Biden administration had given him the options to either resign, retire, or relocate. A reason for his removal is not included. Scott explained that the notice came as the administration looks to place someone new in his position.
Scott, whom Trump appointed in January 2020, supported the now-former president’s hardline stance on policies concerning migration. Among the policies Scott supported was the wall, which Joe Biden canceled upon taking office. Scott had also refused to comply with the Biden administration’s directive to stop labeling migrants as “illegal aliens.”
This is not unusual for existing heads to change along with a new presidential administration. During Trump’s presidency, he removed former FBI agent Mark Morgan as US Border Patrol Chief. Morgan assumed the position under Barack Obama’s administration.
Biden has already nominated Chris Magnus for Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner, the parent agency of Border Patrol. Scott’s position is subject to appointment by the commissioner.
Meanwhile, Trump’s attorney who led the efforts in overturning the election results and pushing the false election claims, Rudy Giuliani, was suspended from practicing law in the state of New York. The decision was made by the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division in a 33-page ruling, citing Giuliani’s work for the former president as a reason for his suspension.
“We conclude that there is uncontroverted evidence that respondent communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers, and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump and the Trump campaign in connection with Trump’s failed effort at reelection in 2020,” said the ruling.
