Do the Border Patrol agent perform any undercover assignments?

Asked by Russ about 12 years ago

Yes, the BP have a couple of different special teams which operate in various sectors.  These are run by sector level and often with fellow law enforcement agencies (both local and federal).  Not very often, but yes.

My friend crossed the border when he was 16 years old and he got caught. They took his fingerprints and sent him back to Mexico. He then crossed once again and he is now 24 years old. Is his record clear, since he was a minor?

Asked by Anne over 12 years ago

No.  His record and prints will still be in the U.S. immigration system database.

Yes, look up 1811 or CBP agent on USAJobs.gov (the US federal job site).  There may be no listing currently (there is only a listing when the BP needs new agents).

What happen's If a family member crossing the border is missing for a week, and is not in the system as being arrested who do we contact, or how do we go about to find them?

Asked by Kylakp09 about 12 years ago

There is no process.  You can contact the local Sheriff/Police Department and attempt to file a missing person's report.  However if you can not verify that the family member did cross the border they may not accept the report.  Crossing international borders is dangerous and illegal.  A person is responsible for their own actions and safety.
