Michael Banks, chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, abruptly resigned Thursday — effective immediately.
Banks informed Border Patrol staff of his decision in a farewell message obtained by CBS News, saying, “It is time for me to retire and return home to Texas to focus on my family and ranch.”
Banks wrote, “What we have accomplished together in the last year and a half is nothing short of amazing. You, the men and women of the Border Patrol, took the United States Border from the most chaotic and unsecured border in the history of this great Nation and have delivered the most secure border this country has ever seen.”
