Mark Morgan, a former FBI Agent, border hardliner and veteran of the Obama administration, has been chosen by President Trump to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“I am pleased to inform all of those that believe in a strong, fair and sound Immigration Policy that Mark Morgan will be joining the Trump Administration as the head of our hard working men and women of ICE,” Trump tweeted. “Mark is a true believer and American Patriot. He will do a great job!”

Morgan will replace former acting ICE Director Ronald Vitiello, who resigned in April
.
During the final days of the Obama administration, Morgan became the first outsider to serve as chief of the Border Patrol. After clashing with a union for Border Patrol agents, Morgan left his position the same month Trump became president in January 2017.

Morgan also served two decades as an FBI agent.
