Border Patrol Chief Retiring Amid Controversy

Public backlash grew after two U.S. citizens were fatally shot by agents in Minneapolis back in January. Officials first blamed the victims, but video evidence told a different story, and polls showed support for the immigration push dropping amid, lawsuits and protests. Trump recently fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noam, with her time ending March 31, and nominated Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullin.
