Customs and Border Protection chief to step down

Acting Customs and Border Protection commissioner John Sanders will step down as the government’s primary border enforcement executive in the coming weeks, the New York Times reported Tuesday.

 

A federal official told the outlet that it was not clear whether Sanders' resignation is connected to criticism of the agency's handling of the influx of immigrants at the Southern border.

 

The reported resignation comes amid mounting criticism of the treat of migrants being held in CBP detainment facilities.

A Russian Warship Is In Havana’s Harbor

One of Russia’s newest warships docked in Havana Monday as U.S.-Russia relations are “deteriorating,” in the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin on June 13.

 

The Admiral Gorshkov is a state-of-the-art Russian navy ship armed with cruise missiles and air defense systems, reported The Associated Press. It arrived in Cuba flanked by logistics vessel Elbrus, medium sea tanker Kama and rescue tug Nikolai Chiker, the Russian navy said.

 

Cuban forces at the entrance to the Bay of Havana gave the Admiral Gorshkov a 21-gun salute, and the Gorshkov responded with its own salute, reported The AP.

 

The warship’s entry comes less than a month after the Treasury Department ended American travel to Cuba via cruise ship or personal aircraft or boat June 4 as the Trump administration accused Cuba of propping up Venezuela’s failing socialist regime, reported The Washington Post. The Admiral Gorshkov pulled into a port that was frequented by U.S. cruise ships until earlier in June, according to The AP.
