United States Border Patrol

The United States Border Patrol is a federal law enforcement agency responsible for monitoring and securing the U.S. borders along Mexico and Canada. Its primary mission is to prevent illegal immigration, smuggling, and unauthorized crossings, while also facilitating lawful trade and travel. Border Patrol agents patrol extensive border areas, using various technologies, vehicles, and sometimes aircraft to detect and apprehend individuals attempting to enter the country illegally. They work as part of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, aiming to protect national security, uphold immigration laws, and ensure the safe and lawful flow of people and goods.
