Biden CBP chief: Hell no, I won't go

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% :"Ironically, the most common complaint I've received from colleagues is about my tendency to ask too many questions in meetings and my desire to know what some believe is more than necessary on various topics," he said, adding he intends "to remain fully engaged in the work of leading CBP and advocating on behalf of those who work here as well as for the American public."
50% : After a trip earlier this year to the border to meet with his Border Patrol colleagues, Magnus asked for an emergency meeting with Mayorkas and other senior DHS officials, during which he listed complaints about ICE that he'd gathered during tour stops from the Border Patrol's rank and file, according to one of the five administration officials, who was familiar with the meeting.
48% : Instead, the White House wants to push its appointee at Customs and Border Patrol out the door to protect Mayorkas.
48% : On Friday, in a message to Customs and Border Protection employees, Mr. Magnus wrote, "I have no plans to resign as C.B.P. commissioner," according to a copy of the letter shared with The New York Times.
44% : The only problem is ... he won't leave:The Customs and Border Protection commissioner said Friday that he had been asked to step down but was refusing to do so, in what appears to be the Biden administration's first attempted shake-up after the midterm elections.
43% : As an example, two of the five current administration officials said Magnus brought his boss, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, pages of grievances about Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
39% : While CBP is responsible for securing U.S. borders at and between ports of entry, ICE is the agency responsible for arresting and detaining undocumented people within U.S. borders.
36% : However, Magnus may have some resentment in being made a scapegoat for Biden and Mayorkas -- and may resent the PR campaign that launched last month to intimidate him into resigning ahead of the request:Five current administration officials who work with CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus portrayed him as unengaged in his job, saying he often doesn't attend White House meetings on the situation on the border, badmouths other agencies to colleagues and superiors, and has not built relationships within CBP and across other agencies to address the influx of migrants at the border.
30% : They complain he is unfamiliar with some of the operations of CBP and instead is focused primarily on reforming the culture of the Border Patrol, addressing its long list of allegations of racism and violence.
