President Biden’s border chief Chris Magnus resigned Saturday, bowing to pressure from his bosses while exposing chaos behind the scene at Homeland Security.
Mr. Magnus, who had served as commissioner of Customs and Border Protection for less than a year, had resisted an effort by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this week to get him to quit. But he relented Saturday.
“I am submitting my resignation effective immediately but wish you and your administration the very best going forward. Thank you again for this tremendous opportunity,” Mr. Magnus said to Mr. Biden in a resignation letter released by the White House.
