Blatant disregard for human life - smugglers abandoned a 9 year old child and his mother.

#USBP found the family on a desolate ranch in Falfurrias, TX.

Smugglers’ greed has no limits.

Tasked with search and rescue, BORSTAR agents deploy daily to provide emergency life-saving skills to those in need. Outstanding work, BORSTAR! #FirstResponders #borderpatrol

Saturday, the #USBP Marine Unit intercepted a fishing vessel with 16 smuggled migrants aboard. Smuggling along the CA coastline is not only illegal, it's inherently dangerous for all involved parties. The boat operators now face Federal charges. Read: https://t.co/LzIVTPO6Hq

Border Patrol agents often face life-threatening confrontations as they work to secure America’s borders. There have been several recent incidents of agents fired upon from Mexico while patrolling the line.

It was an honor to thank the frontline workforce alongside @SecMayorkas in RGV. Together, we also met and thanked the local stakeholders who are an essential piece of border security.

USBP rescues have more than doubled when compared to all of FY20. This past weekend, El Centro saved 11 lives from the scorching heat. Thankfully, one of the migrants was able to request help by activating a rescue beacon. Great job, ELC! #firstresponders #borderpatrol #usbp

Amazing work, Spokane!

[Chief Rosario “Pete” Vasquez @USBPChief]

The USBP patrols some of the most rural areas of our country. In some locations we are often the first to respond to 911 calls. Curlew station agents in WA responded to a recent truck rollover. Great job, Spokane!

[U.S Border Patrol Deputy Chief @USBPDeputyChief]

Ramey Sector agents along with Stonegarden partners collaborated to seize 220 kilograms of cocaine in three incidents this week! Another load of narcotics that won’t make it into our communities.

Great job, RGV!

[Chief Rosario “Pete” Vasquez @USBPChief]

One of the aspects of border security that often goes unnoticed but happens daily, are rescues to assist those in need along the border. An agent in RGV Sector carried a man to safety after falling from a cliff. Keep up the good work! #firstresponders #borderpatrol

While mustering up with the men and women of the Laredo South and Zapata station in Laredo sector, I had the opportunity to congratulate Special Operations Supervisor Sandoval on his retirement and present Chief Hudak with his Wall Commission.

[U.S. Border Patrol Del Rio Sector @USBPChiefDRT]

We take time today to honor the life and service of Agent Marco A. Gonzales. A proud Marine and staunch advocate for his fellow agents, Agent Gonzales’s memory and contributions to the USBP will never be forgotten. Honor First!

I had the pleasure of visiting the men and women of Laredo Sector at the Laredo North Station. At muster, I was able to have a one-on-one conversation with the agents and support staff that are doing extraordinary work every day. #borderpatrol #usbp #firstresponders

[U.S Border Patrol Deputy Chief @USBPDeputyChief]

Creating and maintaining relationships with our local partners is key to the success of our mission. Today, I met with Val Verde County Judge Lewis Owens to discuss our border strategy and our path going forward.

[U.S Border Patrol Deputy Chief @USBPDeputyChief]

While visiting the Del Rio Sector, I was able to brief media on the state of the southwest border on sight where our agents are going above and beyond. #honorfirst #borderpatrol #usbp

[U.S Border Patrol Deputy Chief @USBPDeputyChief]

While visiting the border in Del Rio Sector today, I had the honor of visiting front-line agents at muster. These agents are giving 100% every day to ensure the safety of migrants and the American people. #firstresponders #borderpatrol

[U.S Border Patrol Deputy Chief @USBPDeputyChief]

On and off-duty, agents are saving lives. Amazing rescue by a Detroit Sector Border Patrol Agent. Watch the interview for the full story.

Off-duty Border Patrol Agent John Leslie was driving home when he spotted a vehicle fire off the side of the road: https://t.co/Oqce1bEmfX

In his own words, hear what happened next ⬇️

Ramey sector continues to leverage strong relationships with state and local partners which leads to incredible narcotics seizures. Over the last three days, Ramey Sector has seized over 2,000 lbs. of cocaine. Amazing work! #borderpatrol #firstresponders

On July 31st, we lost another agent in the line-of-duty. Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Daniel Cox of Tucson Sector was involved in a vehicle accident on duty. Agent Cox entered on duty on July 28, 1997. We will always remember him and his sacrifice.
