White House's border coordinator Roberta S. Jacobson to RESIGN
Roberta S. Jacobson, the former ambassador to Mexico whom President Biden chose as his 'border czar' on the NSC, announced the move in an interview with The New York Times .
Jacobson's resignation comes amid growing pressure for Vice President Kamala Harris to visit the border, 16 days after the White House said she would be leading the effort.
Sullivan said Harris continues to lead efforts related to the border, showing the importance the administration places on the issue.
'President Biden has asked Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the Administration's work on our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle, a testament to the importance this administration places on improving conditions in the region. The Vice President is overseeing a whole-of-government approach supported by outstanding public servants,' he said.
Customs and Border Protection revealed yesterday that March saw the highest number of migrant children crossing the border in history.
