Sharjah24 – Reuters: President Joe Biden has accepted the resignation of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Christopher Magnus, the White House said in a statement on Saturday.
The statement comes a day after U.S. media said Magnus had been asked to resign or was fired in a sign of tension within Biden's administration over a record number of migrant crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"I am submitting my resignation effective immediately, but wish you and your administration the very best," Magnus said in a letter. "Thank you again for this tremendous opportunity."
