Carla Provost was officially appointed as US Border Patrol chief on Thursday, after successfully serving for more than a year as the agency's interim acting chief. Provost's appointment makes her the first woman in charge of the Border Patrol during its 90-year history.
President Donald J. Trump originally appointed Provost in April 2017 to serve as the acting chair. Yesterday, Kevin McAleenan, the commissioner for Customs and Border Protection, appointed her to the full-time position. McAleenan stated, "Her career has been marked by her tendency to take on on the most challenging roles in the most challenging areas of our border and our agency." This appointment is not subject to Senate confirmation.
