FBI: Corrupt US border agents a ‘serious’ threat – KHOU
New figures show 122 current or former U.S. federal agents and employees of the Customs and Border Protection agency have been arrested or indicted for corruption since October of 2004. It is a trend that has both the FBI and key members of Congress concerned.
In addition, 92 of those cases were considered instances of “Mission Compromising Corruption,” in which the employee violated, or facilitated the violation of the laws the agency enforces– such as those related to the smuggling of drugs or illegal aliens.
