Based on my studies of court cases since the agency's inception in 1924, it is rare for a Border Patrol agent to be brought to trial much less convicted of anything. They are almost never charged with a crime committed while in uniform. Juries are extremely prejudiced when the defendant is wearing a badge. The agency allows fellow agents to crowd the court rooms and testify that their pals could not have done the things they are being accused of even when the accused have pleaded guilty. Judges often comment in their sentencing that they are perplexed on how someone could be a hero in the community and commit such horrific crimes.

Here are 3 case studies showing that there is a pattern and practice of judges letting violent Border Patrol back in uniform. Here is the link to the written article.
