    Border Patrol Goes Tactical in New Orleans

    Border Patrol Goes Tactical in New Orleans

    Newsmax | September 16 2005

    NewsMax first reported assets of the U.S. Border Patrol being used for disaster relief in New Orleans.

    At a time when border-state governors are pleading with the feds to beef up patrols along the open southern borders, the busy agency launched the largest tactical operation in its history - in support of local law enforcement in the flooded city.

    Beginning on Sept 5, Blackhawk helicopters filled with elite agents roared into the city to secure a perimeter for 24 hours.

    As GovExec.om reported, the New Orleans Police Department asked the Customs and Border Protection bureau to help secure the city's second and fifth districts, where gunshots had been piercing the silence.

    Within six hours of the request from local officials, the agency pulled together a team of 87 agents from BORTAC and SWAT units, five Blackhawk helicopters and 20 vehicles.


    The patroling operation has reportedly ended without incident.

    The Customs and Border Patrol agency will officially reorganize its air operations on Oct. 1. - when CBP's Air and Marine Organization and Border Patrol aviation assets will become CBP Air, one force to support all operations.

    It is a shame to see the border underguarded for that long.
    I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
