Early in the summer, I wrote about the experience and history of the hiring surge post-9/11 by Customs and Border Protection and the Border Patrol. I actually spent five years covering the wave of crime and corruption that overwhelmed CBP afterward — a tidal wave so huge that from 2005 to 2012, there were a total of 2,170 misconduct arrests of CBP officers and Border Patrol agents — meaning that one CBP officer or agent was arrested every single day for seven years — and that even by 2017, a decade after the hiring surge, that pace of arrest had only slowed to one CBP agent or officer arrested every 36 hours.
