U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he plans to appoint Mark Morgan, a border patrol chief under former President Barack Obama who supports Trump’s border wall, to head the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

Morgan, who headed U.S Border Patrol for six months after a career at the FBI, came out in support of Trump’s border wall in January, urging Trump in an interview with legal news website Law & Crime to “stay the course.”

“I am pleased to inform all of those that believe in a strong, fair and sound Immigration Policy that Mark Morgan will be joining the Trump Administration as the head of our hard working men and women of ICE,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
