U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks resigned Wednesday, effective immediately, after reports he paid for sex with prostitutes abroad. Banks, WHO led the Trump administration's hardline border crackdown and ran enforcement operations at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, announced the resignation in an exclusive Fox News interview. His exit, coming weeks after the prostitution allegations surfaced, removes the agency's top operational leader and raises questions about leadership and oversight during a politically sensitive period for immigration enforcement.
