President Joe Biden’s acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) slammed him during an interview on Thursday over his disastrous handling of the U.S. southern border.

Acting ICE Director P.J. Lechleitner was asked by NBC News if Biden “should have taken that action earlier” to secure the southern border to stop millions of illegal aliens from entering the country.

“Yes, yes, absolutely yes, he should have,” said Lechleitner. “The administration should have taken that action earlier, and I think the career people in DHS would have liked that.”

“All of us at DHS—I don’t know of anybody that wouldn’t have wanted that earlier,” he continued. “Law enforcement is always going to be on that side, where we want tighter controls, because for a while, you remember, it was 10,000+.”

Lechleitner was also asked about Biden not mentioning the border this week when he was asked during an interview if he had any regrets about actions he took as president.

“Does that surprise you?” asked NBC News’ Julia Ainsley.

“No, but it is unfortunate because I think we could have done more,” he said. “We could have added more resources to it, with CBP and ICE, and we could have tried to get more of these individuals who are in the non-detained docket and moved more people. I think we could have used more resources and support. We could have done that the last four years.”
