Hoeven Statement on Confirmation of Rodney Scott to Lead CBP

WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven issued the following statement after voting to confirm Rodney Scott to serve as the Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Scott worked for 30 years in various capacities at CBP and the U.S. Border Patrol, and previously served as Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol.

“We congratulate Commissioner Scott on his confirmation,” said Hoeven. “When I met with Commissioner Scott he made clear his commitment to securing the border through additional personnel and technology and to ensuring that CBP manages the flow of goods and people through U.S. ports of entry safely and efficiently. Border security is national security, and the Trump administration has made good progress in stopping the flow of illegal immigration at our borders. We look forward to working with Commissioner Scott to secure our borders.”
