UPDATE: Trump taps Mark Morgan, former Obama official who supports border wall, to head ICE
Source: Washington Post
President Trump announced on Sunday that he has chosen Mark Morgan to head the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement bureau. Morgan, a career FBI official who served as the director of Customs and Border Protection at the end of the Obama administration, has spoken publicly in favor of Trump’s efforts to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.
“I am pleased to inform all of those that believe in a strong, fair and sound Immigration Policy that Mark Morgan will be joining the Trump Administration as the head of our hard working men and women of ICE,” Trump wrote in a tweet. “Mark is a true believer and American Patriot. He will do a great job! It was not immediately clear if Trump had formally nominated Morgan to the position, which requires Senate confirmation.
Morgan had been forced to step down from CBP at the beginning of the Trump administration. But he later emerged as an administration supporter and said he believed the wall was an important component of national security, saying in an interview “the wall works.”
He urged Trump to push for border wall funding despite opposition from lawmakers. “I was removed. I’m standing up and saying, ‘I should have disdain for them, but I don’t because they are right,’” Morgan told the website Law and Crime in January. “I can stand up and say they are right because it’s the right thing to do for this country. I’m begging the president to stay the course.”

In an announcement on Twitter, the president called Mark Morgan “a true believer and American Patriot.”
Morgan, who served as Border Patrol chief for the last six months of the Obama administration before being removed once President Trump took office, came out this year in support of a border wall.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
