“The U.S. Border Patrol graduated a second class of recruits within a week for the first time Thursday, days after National Guard troops began leaving the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Border Patrol Academy in New Mexico, a border state, produced 39 graduates Monday and 36 more Thursday, part of a plan to add 6,000 agents by the end of the year for a total of about 18,000. About 14,000 agents are on the border now.
The new graduates will be sent to five sectors ”” San Diego; El Paso and Laredo in Texas; and Tucson and Yuma in Arizona.”
