What happened

The Center for Immigration Studies hosted an Immigration Newsmaker conversation with Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, at the National Press Club, according to the Center, whose posting of the full conversation is embedded above. The Center’s description frames Scott’s remit: as Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the nation’s largest federal law enforcement agency, he oversees the front lines of America’s border and national security operations. The hour-long session is the long-form interview format — the Commissioner taking questions on the border record outside the hearing room.

Why it matters

Set between his spring budget testimony and the autumn oversight season, the Newsmaker conversation is Scott’s fullest self-presentation in his located record: the border-security account as the Commissioner himself lays it out, in an attributed Q&A this site can set beside his sworn testimony.
