In an interview on “60 Minutes” with Cecilia Vega, former U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz disclosed that throughout his tenure under the Biden regime, he never once spoke with either Joe Biden or Kamala Harris regarding the escalating border crisis.
Ortiz, who served as chief from August 2021 through May 2023 and was deputy chief under President Trump, recently retired after more than three decades with the agency.
During the interview, an evidently frustrated Ortiz shared his concerns about the operational challenges and political decisions affecting border security.
“When agencies are making a decision based upon politics or whether they’re gonna get media coverage, hey, we’re gonna put all our personnel in this two-mile stretch.
