Do the Border Patrol agent perform any undercover assignments?

Asked by Russ over 11 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.

He could be.  Depends on his criminal record and other issues he may have had.

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 over 11 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.
