Throughout 2020, U.S. Border Patrol agents were found to have assaulted people, engaged in corruption and broken rules on alcohol and drug use, such as driving under the influence, according to a new report. In the vast majority of cases, the agents were disciplined with a written reprimand or counseling, the report said. Less than 2% of complaints of Border Patrol misconduct resulted in agents being removed from their posts and less than 4% lost their jobs, according to the report on disciplinary action released Thursday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency overseeing Border Patrol. Immigrant advocates point to the report as proof that Border Patrol agents are rarely seriously disciplined for wrongdoings, something they’ve complained about for years. Border Patrol officials have said the low disciplinary numbers are a result of agents adhering to best practices. "When people perceive they can get away with this type of misconduct, they're going to continue doing it," said Vicki Gaubeca, director of the Southern Border Communities Coalition, a group of more than 60 organizations that advocate for immigrants and border residents. "It's part of the culture." In all, there were 201 arrests of agents and officials within Customs and Border Protection in fiscal year 2020 on charges ranging from assaults and civil rights violations to driving under the influence and public urination, the report said. That's down from 232 arrests in fiscal year 2019. Border Patrol declined an interview request for the report.
