Yesterday we lost a brother in green to cancer, BPA Felipe Sanchez from the Harlingen Station. Before he passed, his fellow agents gave him a final goodbye at the hospital; an honorable gesture that his family will never forget. RIP Felipe, you were a great man who will be missed
Thank you to

Today we honor the life and sacrifice of our fallen brother, Border Patrol Agent Christopher Luna. May the Lord continue to watch over his family, friends and coworkers as we lay him to rest. He will never be forgotten.

It’s unfortunate but not surprising that some liberal media & “activists” will portray the

A new caravan of over 3,000 Central American migrants is on it's way to the U.S. from Chiapas according to Mexican news outlets. Migrants from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, & Cuba are in the caravan. It's unclear which border they'll try to cross from.
Talked to

Border Patrol agents patrolling were shot at from the Mexican riverbank according to CBP. Today, agents near Fronton, TX, say they saw 4 people with automatic weapons shoot over 50 rounds at them. Their patrol boat was hit several times, but no one was injured. 📸:CBP
UPDATE:
@TxDPSSouth
confirms this fatal crash is a result of human smuggling. DPS say the 2 people killed were not involved in the smuggling. The driver/smuggler is still at large. The 6 people he was smuggling are ok. Some released from hospital, 1 in critical.

The parents responsible for this child being smuggled and abandoned should NEVER be allowed to reclaim him. Anyone else would have their children removed for this type of abandonment. Victimizing your child is not ok.

Early this morning,

Agents found a 3-year-old boy alone and crying in a corn field in TX. He had his name & phone numbers written on his shoes.

is attempting to reach his family. We believe the boy was with a larger group that ran when they encountered Agents.
THE CRISIS ON THE BORDER IS REAL! CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT: A BORDER CRISIS, A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS, A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, BUT DON’T DENY THAT IT’S A DAMN CRISIS! ***END CATCH & RELEASE, REINSTATE MPP, AND EXPAND TITLE 42! IT’S THE ONLY PROVEN WAY.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the San Marcos Police Department during this difficult time. Our hearts go out to the officers and their families. May God bless them all.
Ranchers and landowners along the

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas today, especially to all of our hardworking Border Patrol agents, support staff, and their families. Thank you for all that you do.
On behalf of our Border Patrol Agents throughout the Rio Grande Valley & Coastal Bend, we pray for the family of Mission Police Cpl. Jose Luis Espericueta, as well as his fellow officers and their families during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Not surprising that an Obama CBP Commissioner would suggest retreating and effectively giving up ground to illegal border crossers! That mentality is what created a failed
#BorderSecurity
mission under the previous administration.
@realDonaldTrump
will not surrender our border!
“The idea that the
@CBP
would abandon their mission, retreat from a mob of people violently attempting to enter the US illegally & not do their best to defend our border is inconsistent with CBP's core values of vigilance, integrity and professionalism.”
Members - We’ve purchased a 55-gallon drum of hand sanitizer. It is available at our Union Hall and is in gel form; you must bring in your own bottle for refill. Also, thanks to

Trooper Moises Sanchez. May God be with your family, friends and co-workers during this difficult time.
Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Trooper Moises Sanchez died Saturday, nearly five months after suffering from head injuries sustained from being shot in the line of duty in April.
#BorderPatrol
agents have one of the toughest & most demanding jobs in
#LawEnforcement
& are often alone in desolate areas patrolling harsh terrain. Like all LEOs, we knowingly risk our lives to protect America; we’ll never forget those who have died.
@POTUS
@realDonaldTrump
We ask that you pray for the family of our fallen brother who was killed in the line of duty. Our hearts go out to his family and fellow agents in the Big Bend Sector. We also ask for prayers for his partner so that he may make a full recovery. God Bless them and their families.
Anyone who thinks that closing the
#Border
is extreme has no idea what
#BorderPatrol
is having to deal with on a daily basis. The system is broken and overrun. Even those who claimed there was “no emergency” are seeing the consequences of a chaotic border.

Today, over 600 undocumented immigrants have been apprehended by Border Patrol agents in Roma, Texas. More are expected to be on their way. Here’s a video from a resident who saw hundreds of them behind a store just feet from the Rio Grande.

Not true, we personally spoke with POTUS last week at the White House and he is sincere in his ongoing efforts to hear from Border Patrol agents. It’s far from a photo op. He is genuinely concerned about the border and wants to secure it once and for all.
@lorenzozazueta
If the POTUS hs indeed taken this position it is regrettable. However it should be pointed out tht the article references “two people briefed..who asked not to be identified”. As for me&if it applies to the Pres., if you Can’t Name the Sources then Don’t Write the Article.
