Michael Banks, the head of U.S. Border Patrol, announces his resignation in an appearance on Fox News. PBS NewsHour reports that Banks told the network on Thursday that his resignation is effective immediately, describing it as “just time.” The Independent also reports that Banks states he is resigning, identifying him as the leader of the federal agency responsible for patrolling U.S. borders. Across the accounts, the common element is that Banks makes the announcement during a Fox News interview rather than through a separate official statement published by the agency in the reports provided. The sources do not include further details on his reasons beyond his brief remarks on air, nor do they specify who will take over his role following the resignation. The timing of the effective date—immediate—is included in PBS NewsHour’s report. Overall, the outlets agree that the Border Patrol chief is stepping down and that the announcement occurs in a Fox News segment.
