El Paso border patrol chief reportedly transferred amid controversy over migrant treatment

Aaron Hull, the chief of the Border Patrol's El Paso Sector, is reportedly being reassigned due to growing controversy over the treatment of migrants in local detention facilities.
NBC News reported Wednesday evening that Hull will be transferred to Detroit, Michigan. The network cited an internal memo it had obtained.
Hull's removal from the El Paso sector comes amid an uproar over the treatment of children at the Clint border station, with federal court monitors decrying the squalid conditions there. In addition, there were allegations raised by some members of the Congressional Hispanic Cacus that migrant women were told to drink from toilets due to broken sinks in the Hondo Pass facility.
Hull, known as an immigration hardliner, had denied any problems at those facilities.
Hull's transfer to Detroit will take place this upcoming Monday, NBC reported. It said he'll be replaced in El Paso by Gloria Chavez, who is currently the chief of the El Centro Sector in California.
