Acting Border Chief Resigns Amid Migrant Scandal

NBC News reports:

Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner John Sanders will resign, a CBP official said, as the Trump administration faces backlash over treatment of migrant children. He steps down amid furor over conditions at a border patrol facility in Texas. His departure is effective July 5, the official said.

Sanders has led the agency since President Trump tapped the former Customs and Border Protection commissioner, Kevin McAleenan, to replace Kirstjen Nielsen as homeland security secretary. Mr. Sanders specialized in developing technology for national security initiatives and previously served as the chief technology officer for the TSA.
