More Evidence of Waste, Fraud and Abuse by ICE

Submitted January 25, 2007 - 2:43 am by Miguel Contreras
The United States Border Patrol (USBP), is a Federal police force, the mobile uniformed law enforcement arm of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a bureau of the Department of Homeland Security, who by the way it's "primary function" is to arrest illegal immigrants.

In the 1990's Congress mandated that the Border Patrol shift agents away from the interior and focus them on the borders.  Currently, the U.S. Border Patrol employs over 11,000 agents, and is responsible for patrolling 19,000 miles of land and sea borders.  The Border Patrol personnel are deployed primarily at the U.S.-Mexico border, where they are assigned to control drug trafficking and illegal immigration.

However, the Border Patrol has offices and agents stationed geographically nation-wide.  Seems logical that the ICE employment raids operations can be delegated to the U.S. Border Patrol, or may be they are but only to provide "prisoner transporatation services" for ICE.  For Border Patrol office locations click on:
