Commissioner's Statement on the Departure of U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mark Morgan

Release Date
Thu, 01/26/2017

On behalf of the men and women of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Border Patrol, I want to thank Mark Morgan for his unwavering dedication to our border security mission, and recognize his life-long career in service to the nation.  Mark Morgan’s career spans more than 31 years of faithful service to the nation, including service in the U.S. Marine Corps, as a local deputy sheriff and police officer, 20 years in the FBI, as Assistant Commissioner of CBP’s Office of Internal Affairs, and, finally, as Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol.

I wish him every success in the future.

 

Kevin K. McAleenan

Acting Commissioner
