Event Summary
As Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the nation’s largest federal law enforcement agency, Rodney Scott oversees the front lines of America’s border and national security operations. Under the leadership of DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, CBP has taken on an increasingly central role in implementing the administration’s immigration and border security agenda, making Commissioner Scott one of the most consequential voices in immigration policy today.
Commissioner Scott joined Center Executive Director Mark Krikorian for an in-depth conversation on the challenges facing CBP and the administration’s broader enforcement strategy. The discussion examined current efforts to secure both the southern and northern borders, combat human smuggling and cartel activity, expand border wall system construction, strengthen coordination with ICE, and facilitate lawful trade and travel while protecting national security.
