Acting Commissioner of the Customs & Border Protection agency Mark Morgan gave an early-afternoon press conference on the progress of “the wall” along the nation’s southern border; changes in immigration policies and responses by the federal judiciary; Hurricane Dorian’s devastation of the Bahamas; national security and more.

The presser was streamed live on the White House’s Facebook page.

Morgan served as Border Patrol Chief during the Obama regime and left government early in the Trump administration.  In May, he was hired as Acting ICE Director, then moved to Acting CPT Commissioner in July.

Temporary protected status (TPS) will be granted to many Bahamians affected by the hurricane, Morgan said, while protecting America’s “national security.”

Morgan said that those in the Bahamas whose lives “are in jeopardy,” whether or not they possess “travel documents,” given the “humanitarian” purpose.  Approximately 1,400 have already arrived in the U.S. and been processed by the CBP, Morgan said.
