The U.S. Border Patrol chief’s official X account posted Tuesday that Texas "border czar" Mike Banks was the agency’s 27th leader.

Mike Banks, a former Border Patrol agent, has served in his current role as a special advisor to Gov. Greg Abbott since January 2023.

Banks has been serving as the Lone Star State’s first-ever border czar — a position created by Gov. Greg Abbott in 2023 to deal with the unprecedented influx of migrants.
