Ousted chief Scott writes Congress calling Biden border policies a national security threat
Former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott sent a letter to Senate leaders warning that Biden administration immigration policies had created a serious national security threat at the border. Scott wrote that from January 20, 2021, he witnessed an unprecedented seismic shift in border security and immigration policy that created the current border crisis. The letter, which circulated among Republican lawmakers, became a touchstone for GOP border criticism throughout the Biden years and a launching pad for Scott subsequent political activism.
