“Apparently she does have it straight but she didn’t write the article either”

She did not get it straight: “The Lovington, N.M., woman said border patrol agents subjected her. . .”

They were CBP, not BP.

The ‘reporters’ feel that everyone that works the borders are the same. . .when they are totally different and with different AORs.

Insisting reporters know the basics about what they are reporting on is a bit much, I know, but they must be called on their sloppy and/or ignorant reporting.

A spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection ... “As a practice [Customers and Border Protection] ... the statement said. “CBP stresses ... the overwhelming majority of CBP employees and officers ... As her passport was swiped, a CBP officer told her ... [Customers and Border Protection] would pay for the exams, ... the medical center staff and [Customs and Border Protection] agents ... when an individual is brought in by CBP agents.” ...

That should have made it clear to almost anyone who can read at all.
