Vice President Kamala Harris has not met with the head of Border Patrol since she took office, nor since she was assigned the role of leading outreach to tackle of root causes of migration.
Earlier this year, former Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said he had not heard from either Biden or Harris during his tenure as head of the agency. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

"I’ve never had one conversation with the president or the vice president for that matter. I was chief of the Border Patrol. I commanded 21,000 people. That’s a problem," Ortiz said on "60 Minutes." NewsNation first reported that Harris had not spoken to either chief. Customs and Border Protection and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
