US Customs and Border Commissioner Chris Magnus has quit his position after being asked by DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas top leave or be fired.

“I expressed to him that I felt there was no justification for me to resign when I still cared deeply about the work I was doing and felt that that work was focused on the things I was hired to do in the first place,” Magnus told the Times in a Friday interview.
Magnus, a former police chief ‘who is known as a progressive law enforcement leader,’ said he will not comply with the request.
“I am excited about the progress I made and look forward continuing that work,” he told the outlet.
That said, the Mayorkas isn’t the only one calling for Magnus’ head. Earlier this month, Republican lawmakers demanded his resignation following complaints over his job performance – including reports that he’s fallen asleep during meetings.
