AZ Central-
The federal agency in charge of securing the nation’s borders will be led by a woman for the first time in its 90-year history.
On Thursday, Carla Provost became the 18th chief of the U.S. Border Patrol.
President Donald Trump named Provost as acting chief, an interim role, in April 2017. But with her official appointment this week, she will be responsible for securing more than 6,000 miles of land borders with Mexico and Canada, and overseeing more than 19,000 agents — the vast majority of which are male.
