The head of Border Patrol’s Rio Grande Valley Sector announced Thursday that he is retiring.
The Monitor reports that Kevin W. Oaks spent his last day on the job Thursday following three decades with the federal agency.
Oaks’ former positions included operations division chief in Washington D.C., chief patrol agent of the Buffalo sector and the commander of the agency’s Tactical Unit.
