WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. border inspector who ignored a warning to stop a globe-trotting tuberculosis patient from entering the United States has retired, officials said Monday.
Russ Knocke, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the officer no longer works at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency.
The 18-year veteran inspector, whose name has not been disclosed, was under investigation and on administrative leave. The inspector was pilloried last week at a congressional hearing on the case of Andrew Speaker.
