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.”

maybe higher...

Agent Judd said there must be accountability from the top down. “I believe Secretary Kelly’s constant praise of former Secretary Jeh Johnson is an endorsement of his open border policies.

Havre Montana?

It is on the high line and very close to the Canadian border. Good question.

My brother-in-law was a border patrol agent on the Texas border during the Bush era and even though they were armed, they were told to never shoot back if they were fired upon. He eventually quit. He said no way he would be a target and not be allowed to defend himself.

Me thinks Trump has a plan: SETTLE Korea once and for all. Bring the 28k troops home and station them along the border along with the land mines dotting the DMZ.

At first, the article seemed to be about the Southern border, but then I concluded that there is unlikely to be a Havre of significant size in Texas too.

It’s the Canadian border in Montana. Don’t think the wall will start there.

Havre Montana, one of the least traversed crossings on our Northern border. Breitbart is hyping this, IMO?

Article keeps referring to Texas, but then seems to reference northern border. Others are saying this refers to Canadian border as well. Which is it? Is this more fake news?

Do the cars, house, college tuition, and vacations match the salary?
