President Biden is nominating Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus to lead U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Magnus, who has served as Tucson’s police chief since 2016, is a vocal critic of former President Trump’s immigration policies and a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement.
If confirmed by the Senate, Magnus has a tough job ahead of him as the nation grapples with a border crisis and the separation of migrant children from their families.
Magnus also would be the first openly gay CBP commissioner.
On Monday, Biden announced his pick to lead the DEA – former New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram.
