Border Patrol Union Chief Says Arrests Of Afghans And Pakistanis Have Skyrocketed This Year
The number of arrests made at the border of people from Afghanistan and Pakistan is up significantly this year compared to last, the president of the National Border Patrol Council said when he testified during a House hearing on Tuesday.
Brandon Judd, who has also served as a Border Patrol agent for nearly 20 years, also told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s Subcommittee on National Security that he has witnessed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials fudge alien apprehension statistics by low-balling the number of “got aways” — illegal border-crossers who enter the country but avoid being apprehended by border agents.
Judd began by denying what he says is the Obama administration’s claim that “the border is more secure today than it’s ever been.”
“As a Border Patrol Agent, I will tell you the exact opposite,” Judd said.
