  • Rodney Scott at CBP and Caleb Vitello at ICE would work alongside Stephen Miller, who was named deputy chief of staff for policy and Tom Homan, also tapped to be a "border czar."

The article from KGOU discusses former President Donald Trump's nomination of Rodney Scott to lead U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Scott, who has a long history with the Border Patrol, having served for over 29 years, was previously the Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol before retiring in 2021. His nomination comes at a time when border security and immigration policies are significant political issues. The article highlights Scott's extensive experience, his involvement in various border security operations, and his perspective on border enforcement. It also mentions the potential implications of his leadership on CBP's policies, especially in light of Trump's focus on stringent border control measures. However, the article notes that the nomination process and confirmation by the Senate would be necessary for Scott to officially take the role.
