President Joe Biden was in office prior to the resignation of the US Customs Commissioner and Border Protection, according to a statement from the White House on Saturday.
The White House statement comes a day after the US media announced that Magnus was asked to resign or dismiss him in reference to the tensions within the Biden administration regarding the record number of immigrants crossing the US Mexican border.
Magnus refused to request his resignation from his leadership position in the agency, according to “Fox News”, who said that Magnus had sent an electronic bridal to senior customs staff and border protection, indicating that he was determined to stay at work and not plan to resign.
According to statistics provided by the Ministry of Internal Security, there were almost 2. 4 million immigrants detained at the border in the fiscal year that ended in September, a 37% increase from the previous one.
The number of migrants detained on the border between the United States and Mexico increased to record levels during the Baiden Democratic era, which took power in 2021, which increased the attacks of Republicans who say its policies are very lenient.
Officials from the Biden administration stated that they want to create a more structured and humane immigration system, but they are finding it difficult to deal with the many crossings’ practical and political issues.
According to immigration experts, food insecurity, violence, and poverty are factors that drive migrants out of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
When Biden Magnus, 62, was nominated for this position in 2021, the White House described him as a reformer focusing on consolidating society’s confidence in enforcement of law and holding officers accountable..
