An aide to former Michigan Gov. John Engler who was appointed by President George W. Bush to direct northern border relations was fired from the post today because, he says, he refused an administration order to ignore a violation of the U.S.-Canada border treaty.

Dennis Schornack of Williamston said he received a notice from the White House Tuesday at 5 p.m. in which he was told his “services were no longer necessary.â€
