President Trump’s latest choice to lead U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a former Border Patrol chief under the Obama administration who has backed the president’s border wall. Trump tweeted on Sunday that Mark Morgan “will be joining the Trump Administration as the head of our hard working men and women of ICE.”He added: “Mark is a true believer and American Patriot. Border Patrol/Customs and (Border) Protection, Federal Bureau of Investigations, Los Angeles Police Department, and United States Marine Corps.”Morgan Supports Trump’s Border WallMorgan, who was named the head of U.S. Border Patrol in 2016, was ousted early in Trump’s presidency. Morgan was the first and so far the only outsider to lead the Border Patrol. Since Morgan left, he has defended Trump’s immigration policies and publicly declared earlier this year his support for Trump’s efforts to build a wall along the southern border.
