EXCLUSIVE: Officials Defy Trump’s Promises: 40 Miles of Border Ordered Unpatrolled
Breitbart Texas ^ | 18 Apr 2017 | Brandon Darby & Ildefonso Ortiz

Posted on 04/18/2017 5:55:36 AM PDT by george76

U.S. Border Patrol agents are once again sounding the alarm about miles of border being left wide open and unsecured. Breitbart Texas exclusively obtained a document showing a Havre Sector Border Patrol manager knowingly issuing orders to leave 40 miles of border open and unpatrolled. Obama holdovers in the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency are continuing with the same careless disregard in the Trump Administration that they did under former resident Obama, according to Border Patrol agents.

Breitbart Texas has the specific order that was given to the agents signed by the Obama-holdover manager. The order demands that agents on the northern border stay within one assigned zone and are not to leave that zone to patrol other zones that the agents have historically patrolled — even though there are no agents assigned to patrol the other zones.. .. A total of 60 linear miles are covered by the one Border Patrol station in question, yet agents say that this only allows them to patrol 20 of the 60 miles of border.

...

motives for the manager leaving such a vast swath of border unpatrolled, the agents felt that it was twofold; they blamed previous Obama-era policies and they also believed that widespread corruption exists within the Havre Sector’s upper-management.

...

“Criminal cartels exploit our weaknesses on a daily basis and they’re certainly going to exploit such a large area of open and unpatrolled border.”

...

“This order has to be coming from the Sector Chief and Deputy Chief Patrol Agents. They, along with the Station’s Patrol Agent in Charge and Deputy Patrol Agent in Charge, need to be immediately reassigned until a full and thorough investigation can be done into this order.”

That 40 miles is where the drugs are coming through.

If it’s the good stuff, who cares? /S

Sounds like a change of job description is in order. How about ‘ex-manager’??? Has a nice ring to it...

Ok. This is the FIRST section, to have the wall built.

Seriously.

Right here. And 40 miles to each side, first.

Start the wall, right here.

Fired? This jerk is essentially complicit to drug-running and murder. The bastard should be hanged or shot.

If this story is true and I stress IF, it can be fixed with a simple presidential directive and it can be done almost instantaneously.

Well, just how does everyone think that most of the drugs are getting into prisons EVERYWHERE in this country??? Through corrupt prison guards...

Perhaps to a lesser extent at the USA’s borders, but I have no doubt that corrupted Border Patrol individuals in some places certainly do play a role in drug entry....

the section commander or anyone willingly doing things like this along our border should be put south of the border when the area is secured and wall built.
If they have such sympathies to violate the president on securing our border they don’t belong in this country.

Fire for insubordination; prosecute for aiding and abetting violation of the law. Definitely an example needs to be made here.

Paid off to get the officers out of there so they can smuggle drugs or illegals through.
