• The Department of Homeland Security announced on Friday it will replace outgoing Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz with the current head of the Del Rio sector.
• DHS announced that Jason Owens, who currently serves as the Del Rio sector Border Patrol chief, will take over after Ortiz retires on June 30.
• Owens has been with the Border Patrol for over 25 years and takes the position just as apprehensions at the border have dipped in the wake of the expiration of the Title 42 public health order — although officials have expressed caution about believing that situation will hold in the long-term.
