三名美国国土安全部消息人士周四告诉CBS新闻，美国边境巡逻局局长迈克·班克斯即将卸任。班克斯曾于去年被第二届特朗普政府任命，此前担任得克萨斯州边境事务专员。
他已于周四向员工通报自己将从边境巡逻局退休。边境巡逻局是负责监管身着绿色制服的探员、拦截非法越境人员和毒品入境（包括美墨边境沿线）的联邦机构。
班克斯是近几个月以来最新离职的特朗普政府高级移民官员。今年3月，克里斯蒂·诺姆被时任俄克拉荷马州共和党参议员马克韦恩·马林取代为国土安全部长。她被解职的原因是，公众对其应对联邦探员在明尼阿波利斯枪杀两名美国公民的事件的不满情绪日益高涨，以及她在有争议的电视广告中扮演的角色。
直言不讳的边境巡逻局指挥官格雷戈里·博维诺也于今年3月退休，此前他因明尼阿波利斯镇压行动引发的争议被边缘化。与此同时，美国移民和海关执法局代理局长托德·莱昂斯将于5月底辞职，将由该机构一名资深官员临时接任。
班克斯在周四发给边境巡逻局员工的告别信息中表示：“现在是我退休、回到得克萨斯州家中专注于家庭和牧场的时候了。”
“我们在过去一年半里共同取得的成就堪称非凡，”班克斯写道，“边境巡逻局的各位同仁，你们将这个伟大国家有史以来最混乱、最不安全的边境，打造成了该国历史上最安全的边境。”
负责监管边境巡逻局的美国海关与边境保护局局长罗德尼·斯科特对班克斯的退休表示祝贺。
“我们感谢美国边境巡逻局局长迈克尔·班克斯为国家服役数十年，并祝贺他在边境安全面临最严峻挑战之一的时期重返岗位后，迎来第二次退休，”斯科特在一份声明中表示，“在他担任局长期间，边境从混乱转变为有记录以来最安全的边境。我们祝愿他和他的家人一切顺利。”

班克斯于2025年1月被任命领导边境巡逻局，当时特朗普总统重返白宫，承诺在拜登政府时期创下非法越境纪录多年后，启动全国性驱逐行动并封锁美国南部边境。
此次任命前所未见，因为边境巡逻局局长一职长期以来由该机构的职业官员担任。班克斯作为第二届特朗普政府的政治任命官员执掌该局，此前他担任得克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特的边境事务专员。他此前曾在边境巡逻局担任中级职务。
班克斯在告别信息中提到，他曾在美国海军服役十年。
在班克斯担任局长期间，边境巡逻局的任务范围被扩大到美国边境以外的地区开展更多移民执法工作。
由博维诺领导的边境巡逻局团队在洛杉矶、芝加哥和明尼阿波利斯等大城市开展了大规模且往往不分青红皂白的移民搜捕和拦截行动。这些“流动”巡逻队在明尼阿波利斯行动引发的余波后基本被停摆。

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks, formerly Texas’ border czar until his appointment by the second Trump administration last year, is stepping down from his position, three Department of Homeland Security sources told CBS News on Thursday.
He informed staff on Thursday of his retirement from Border Patrol, the federal agency that oversees the green-uniformed agents in charge of intercepting the illicit movement of people and drugs into the U.S., including along the border with Mexico.
Banks is the latest top Trump administration immigration official to leave in recent months. In March, Kristi Noem was replaced by then-Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin as homeland security secretary. Her ouster came amid growing backlash to her response to the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal agents in Minneapolis, as well as her role in controversial television advertisements.
Outspoken Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino also retired in March, after being sidelined following the controversy around the Minneapolis crackdown. Meanwhile, Todd Lyons, the acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, is set to step down at the end of May, and will be replaced on an interim basis by a longtime agency official.
Banks told Border Patrol employees in a farewell message on Thursday that “it is time for me to retire and return home to Texas to focus on my family and ranch.”

“What we have accomplished together in the last year and a half is nothing short of amazing,” Banks wrote. “You, the men and women of the Border Patrol, took the United States Border from the most chaotic and unsecured border in the history of this great Nation and have delivered the most secure border this country has ever seen.”
Rodney Scott, the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, which oversees Border Patrol, congratulated Banks on his retirement.
“We thank U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks for his decades of service to this country and congratulate him on his second retirement after returning to serve during one of the most challenging periods for border security. During his time as Chief, the border was transformed from chaos to the most secure border ever recorded,” Scott said in a statement. “We wish him and his family well.”

Banks was tapped to lead Border Patrol in January 2025, when President Trump returned to the White House, pledging to launch a nationwide deportation blitz and seal the U.S. southern border after years of record illegal crossings under the Biden administration.
The appointment was unprecedented, since the Border Patrol chief position had long been filled by career agency officials. Banks took the helm of the agency as a political appointee of the second Trump administration, after serving as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s border czar. He had previously served in mid-level roles at Border Patrol.
Banks noted in his farewell message that he served in the U.S. Navy for a decade.
During Banks’ tenure as chief, Border Patrol was tasked with playing a bigger role in immigration enforcement far away from U.S. borders.
Border Patrol teams led by Bovino carried out sweeping and often indiscriminate immigration roundups and stops in major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and Minneapolis. Those “roving” patrols were largely discontinued after the fallout from the Minneapolis operation.
