The US Border Patrol has lost nearly a quarter of its ranks in the four years since President Biden was elected, according to a report.
Just over 4,200 border agents have left the federal agency between October 2020 and April 2024, the Washington Examiner reported Thursday, citing new US Customs and Border Protection staffing data.
The depletion in the 19,000-agent workforce is down to a mix of those who quit, agents who hit mandatory retirement age, or ones who opted to retire as soon as they became eligible.

While the number of agents who quit has been steady — between 600 and 900 per year — for the last decade, the number of retirements has shifted under the Biden administration, the data show.
