U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks tells Fox News he is resigning, effective immediately.
"It's just time," Banks told Fox News' Bill Melugin.
"I feel like I got the ship back on course from the least secure disastrous chaotic border to the most secure border this country has ever seen," he said. "Time to pass the reigns, 37 years, it's time to enjoy the family and life."
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
Bill Melugin serves as congressional correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC) based in Washington, D.C. He joined the network in May 2021.
