Border Patrol Chief Resigns Amid Prostitution Allegations Abroad
US Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks, a key figure in the aggressive militarization of the southern border, has resigned. Banks stated he felt he had successfully transformed the border into the most secure it has ever been. His departure follows reports of misconduct allegations, including accusations of paying for sex with prostitutes during international trips, which were reportedly investigated multiple times by CBP. Banks oversaw significant policy shifts, such as increased prosecutions for unlawful crossings and the establishment of national defense areas along the border.
