US EditionChris Krebs kicked off CBP’s Global Entry program
- Rodney Scott, who served 29 years with the Border Patrol and was relieved of his position as chief in 2021, was nominated in December 2024 to lead the largest federal law enforcement agency responsible for securing U.S. Points of entry, an organization employing around 60,000 personnel and overseeing 328 border crossings.
- Scott’s nomination follows his leadership under Trump, involving implementation of policies like Remain in Mexico and Title 42, but Democrats raised concerns at his confirmation hearing about his past actions and handling of immigration enforcement.
- During his Senate Finance Committee hearing, Scott emphasized investing in non-intrusive inspection technologies and AI to enhance CBP’s effectiveness, while acknowledging that officers remain essential for final contraband determinations.
- Scott emphasized that, if appointed commissioner, he intends to spearhead efforts to ensure effective border protection, underscoring that, according to the 9/11 report, safeguarding the country requires collaborative teamwork—a perspective shaped by his extensive background in law enforcement.
- Scott’s nomination provokes debate about accountability, with critics citing his alleged involvement in a 2010 cover-up of an immigrant’s death and resistance to certain reforms, indicating ongoing challenges for leadership at CBP.
