Border Patrol agents criticized in report for ‘lack of diligence’

The LA Times obtained a report criticizing the U.S. Border Patrol for a “lack of diligence” and its use of tactics that may give officers an excuse to open fire. The report by law enforcement experts was the result of a review commissioned by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Of 67 cases involving border patrol officers reviewed by the Police Executive Research Forum, 19 resulted in death.
