EAGLE PASS, Texas – Border Patrol is failing to hire agents fast enough to replace thousands of soon-to-be retirees, and current and former employees say overly aggressive and unaccountable polygraph examiners are disqualifying more than half of otherwise-qualified candidates. "We're losing a lot of people, including those who have prior military service, who have active security clearances, and they fail a CBP polygraph," Jon Anfinsen, vice president of the National Border Patrol Council, told Fox News. "It doesn't make any sense." Polygraphs or lie detector tests are generally inadmissible in court cases, and federal law bans most private companies from...

Isabella County (MICHIGAN) Sheriff’s Office is feeling the pain at the pump as well. We have exhausted what funds were budgeted for fuel with several months to go before the budget reset.

Deputies will continue to provide patrols to all areas of the county, they will respond to those calls that need to be managed in person.

Sixty Border Patrol agents were found to have committed misconduct by posting “explicit and violent messages” mocking migrants and threatening lawmakers on Facebook — but only two were actually fired, investigators said Monday. A sweeping investigation by the House Oversight and Reform Committee found that the majority of agents had their punishments significantly reduced after it emerged that they’d posted photos and comments in a closed Facebook group back in 2019. Despite an internal Customs and Border Patrol Discipline Review Board recommending that 24 of the 60 agents be fired, only two were ultimately terminated, according to the report.

During an appearance on FNC’s “Fox News Primetime” on Wednesday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) hammered the Biden administration after his contentious interaction with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack about immigration policy.

Right after the election, they told the Biden administration, if you eliminate the Remain in Mexico policy and go back...
