NEW YORK, May 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
National frustration with the United States' immigration policy has been increasing rapidly over the past decade. Society often blames immigrants, legal and illegal, for local increases in drug use, crime, and job loss. Partly due to these factors, the presence of private, volunteer border-patrol groups has increased on the United States-Mexico border. The Minuteman Project is one of these citizen border-patrol groups. This Note presents a hypothetical situation in which a member of the Minuteman Project encounters an alien in the United States and violates her constitutional rights. This Note looks critically at the actions of volunteer border-patrol groups and concludes that, among other claims, the hypothetical undocumented migrant would have a valid Bivens cause of action against th...
The U.S. Border Patrol's required proficiency in Spanish historically has made the agency a vital link to federal, state and local law enforcement agencies in need of language translation assistance, but that service no longer will be available. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Deputy Commissioner David V. Aguilar said in a little-circulated Nov. 21 memo that Border Patrol agents no longer will respond to requests for language assistance from law enforcement personnel not part of the Department of Homeland Security.
A federal department ruled last week that the Forest Service violated a Spanish-speaking woman's civil rights by calling the Border Patrol to help translate during a routine stop, saying it was "humiliating" to Hispanics and an illicit backdoor way to capture more illegal immigrants. The ruling by the Agriculture Department's assistant secretary for civil rights could change policies nationwide as law enforcement agencies grapple with how far they can go in trying to help the Border Patrol while not running afoul of racial profiling standards.
WASHINGTON - Border Patrol agents have racked up daily overtime at a cost of about $1.4 billion in the past six years while the number of arrests of illegal border crossers has fallen to the lowest level in nearly 40 years, an Associated Press analysis of agency records finds. Since the 2006 budget year, the agency charged with stopping would-be illegal border crossers and smugglers from making it into the U.S. over land and sea borders has spent more than $1.4 billion on what is described as "administrative uncontrollable overtime," according to the data provided by the Border Patrol. In practical terms, agents average two hours a day in overtime.
When it comes to the U.S. Border Patrol, agents say, the operative word is patrol. We are not the people at the bridges; we patrol between the bridges," said Christopher Griffiths, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection supervisory agent. "We are perimeter security. It's important for people to know what we are doing for them.
Five illegal immigrants armed with at least two AK-47 semi- automatic assault rifles were hunting for U.S. Border Patrol agents near a desert watering hole known as Mesquite Seep just north of the Arizona-Mexico border when a firefight erupted and one U.S. agent was killed, records show. A now-sealed federal grand jury indictment in the death of Border Patrol agent Brian A. Terry says the Mexican nationals were "patrolling" the rugged desert area of Peck Canyon at about 11:15 p.m. on Dec. 14 with the intent to "intentionally and forcibly assault" Border Patrol agents.
NACO, Ariz. - A Border Patrol agent was shot to death Tuesday in Arizona near the U.S.-Mexico line, the first fatal shooting of an agent since a deadly 2010 firefight with Mexican bandits that spawned congressional probes of a botched government gun-smuggling investigation. The agent, 30-year-old Nicholas Ivie, and a colleague were on patrol in the desert near Naco, about 100 miles from Tucson, when gunfire broke out shortly before 2 a.m., the Border Patrol said. The second agent was shot twice, but was reportedly in stable condition.
A Border Patrol agent's duty includes the apprehension of terrorists, detection of terrorist activity and weapons of mass destruction and the enforcement of immigration laws. The training at the Border Patrol Academy in Artesia, NM includes passing several tests in Spanish, criminal and immigration law, and others that use researched, realistic scenario training in dealing with check points, freight trains, buses and other vehicles. The Guard is now taking part in entry identification teams; repairing vehicles; operating cameras; monitoring remote surveillance systems, including ground-based search radar; providing lighting and sensors to detect illegal entry; and maintaining and constructing the tactical infrastructure such as roadways and fences.
