I extend my sincerest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of @CBP Agent David C. Maland, who tragically passed away in the line of duty this week. His unwavering dedication and 9+ years of service to our country will always be remembered.
CBP mourns the loss of Border Patrol Agent David Maland. He began his career with CBP in 2015 as part of the 1065th Session of the U.S. Border Patrol Academy. Please keep his family, friends, and colleagues in your thoughts.
