Senate backs Trump’s nominee to lead Customs and Border Protection despite accusation by former official
The US Senate on Wednesday confirmed Rodney Scott as commissioner of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), despite a former top official accusing him of orchestrating a “cover-up” over the death of a man detained while trying to enter the country from Mexico.
Scott was confirmed on a party-line vote, with 51 Republicans in favor and 46 Democrats opposed, along with three absences.
He will take charge of one of the largest federal law enforcement agencies, which staffs ports of entry across the United States and also includes the border patrol, which he led from 2020 to 2021.
Change the brand of politician, and I’m sure you’ll have some republicans say the same thing.
The fight started so long ago and the “opposition” party has done nothing in their power when they had the ability to do so. Pardon me that I assumed this was more of the same. Made an assumption out of me.
