President Joe Biden plans to announce nominations for two key immigration jobs as the administration confronts a historic influx of migrants on the U.S.-Mexico border, the White House announced on Monday.
Biden has selected Chris Magnus, the police chief from Tucson, Ariz., to lead U.S. Customs and Border Protection. He’d been a critic of the Trump administration’s anti-immigration policies.
Biden also intends to nominate Ur Jaddou, an immigrant-rights advocate who was also a critic of former President Donald Trump’s policies, to lead U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The agency will implement Biden’s rollback of some of Trump’s hard-line visa policies.
