Border Patrol Chief Quits After Report He Hired Foreign Sex Workers

Mike Banks reportedly traveled abroad to solicit sex workers multiple times over the course of a decade.

U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks suddenly resigned from his position Thursday following accusations of sexual impropriety. Banks oversaw Donald Trump's second-term immigration crackdown.

The longtime law enforcement professional told Fox News that his resignation was effective immediately.

"Banks even "bragged" about his deviant habits with colleagues while in his previous role in Border Patrol, and allegedly paid for sex with prostitutes while travelling across Colombia and Thailand over the course of a decade.

CBP reportedly investigated his behavior twice, including last year, but the probe was squashed by former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem."

Doesn't seem fair that the same kind of behaviour that qualified him to be hired by the corrupt Trump Gov got him fired when it became public.

I mean, Trumps' done much worse and that's just public information, from paying off porn stars to keep quite during an election, to raping and defaming women, to paying off several dozen sex assaults cases against women to....

... drawing Bday Card pics of prepubescent girls and whispering about secrets in common with the Pedo King, his bosom buddy.

NOT FAIR AT ALL!!

This guy should sue for his job back. Consistency, people, a little consistency would be appreciated!

I think JeffJ and BJ are prolly especially proud of how far an evil person like Trump has gotten.

(I also expect that Banks will be the First Gov on the new state of, "Trumpezuala")

"Foreign Sex Workers"

I wonder how many Colombianas and Thais this overpaid miscreant deported over the decades?

Let's hope Mike Banks gets into an accident real, real soon.

The BP really is loaded-up with the worst, top to bottom, and has been for ages. Low prestige job, widely despised by folk they encounter and hassle, badge and gun syndrome, isolated working locations ... Corruption? Whoa, Nellie.

Hi Doc Sarvis

We have a drudge.com contributor who was in the Border Patrol. He writes occasionally and may have some internal insights to add.

Always interested. I lived in the Borderlands for ages. The "War on Drugs" really wrecked the relationship between a lot of folks living along La Frontera and the BP. The officers' high-handed attitude toward locals and ignorance of local ways did not help. Last time I was there was up above the San Rafael Valley in AZ with a buddy who lived in the area (where I'd roamed often) and in the middle of nowhere out pops a BP officer. She brought her attitude, demanding to know what we were doing out there, in open country. It was a tense exchange and the two of us left. (She was armed, her word against ours.). Badge and gun syndrome run amok.

On the scandal scale, where does hiring prostitutes fall?

Did the BP quit out of embarrassment that he wasn't caught raping underage girls?

Wow. Someone resigned from this administration for a "scandal" that's so 1990s. What's really happening and why is he being thrown under the bus? Because let's be real, soliciting sex workers is not a scandal in this administration, it's a refreshing breath of normalcy.

Probably. Trump is one of the world's biggest sexual deviants and predators.
