Members of the free and independent press-
Please take a look at the new $9.8 million, 50 agent US Border Patrol station at Port Angeles, WA- an area sharing no land border with Canada.
A grand opening is scheduled for Sept. 14th.
Items of interest:
Still no justification provided by elected officials or the US Border Patrol for an upgrade in staff requiring the 50 agent facility.
Secret arrest statistics and a denied FOIA request-
Where else in law enforcement are arrest statistics kept secret? Not here.
Perhaps the new USBP outreach program will take time to explain why- in the whole wide world of law enforcement work- does the Port Angeles US Border Patrol station tell us they can’t report arrests because that would help the bad guys- yet crimes handled by local law enforcement agencies & the FBI are reported as public information?
Two total arrests involving cross-border traffic for the land and sea based Homeland Security forces stationed at Port Angeles.
More than a year later- what are the results of the whistleblower investigation Re: fraudulent overtime claims at the Port Angeles USBP station?
Olympic Peninsula reporters are not asking questions.
