Retired Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott, who led the agency during the last year of the Trump administration and roughly the first seven months of the Biden administration, said policy brief meetings with the White House dwindled down to zero the moment the current administration came into power. The lack of communication continued even after Harris was appointed by the White House to address the “root causes” of illegal immigration Central America.

“Absolutely not,” Scott said to the Daily Caller News Foundation when asked if Harris ever personally spoke with him during his time leading the Border Patrol. “As soon as the [Biden-Harris] administration came in, we were basically told in no uncertain terms that if they wanted our opinions, they would ask, but they never asked.”

“At no time did Biden or Harris ever ask to meet with or get briefed by U.S. Border Patrol,” Scott continued. “No meetings at all.”
