Biden ‘border czar’ Roberta Jacobson stepping down amid migrant crisis

Sullivan said Vice President Kamala Harris will continue to lead a “whole-of-government approach” to the crisis — appearing to contradict the recent instance from the White House that Harris only is handling the “root causes” of migration.

Jacobson’s retirement was announced less than a month after she admitted that the White House was sending “mixed messages” to migrants from Latin America, saying “it is difficult at times to convey both hope in the future and the danger that is now.”

Jacobson departs as the Biden administration reportedly is considering sending cash payments to Central Americans in a bid to prevent them from making the trek north and as Harris, tapped by Biden to to handle the crisis, still has yet to visit either the border or Central America.

Robertson’s abrupt departure came as a surprise to many in Washington and some Republicans questioned whether she was leaving voluntarily.

Former US ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell, who also was acting intelligence director last year, tweeted, “Biden blames and fires a woman for his disastrous border policy.”
