Biden Administration Names Jason Owens as New Chief of Border Patrol

Jason Owens, the current head of the Border Patrol’s Del Rio sector in Texas, was announced as the new agency chief by the Biden administration on Friday. Owens will assume the position after the current chief, Raul Ortiz, steps down at the end of the month. This will make Owens the third person to lead the Border Patrol under President Biden, indicating a relatively high turnover rate.
