Hispanic recruitment in U.S. Border Patrol surged 70% despite record-low apprehensions and over half of agents now being Hispanic.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass expressed sadness over a surge in Hispanic recruitment for the U.S. Border Patrol, noting the increase despite Hispanics now making up over half the agents on the southern border.
Applications rose 70% compared to the prior year, coinciding with a record low in apprehensions—237,565 in fiscal year 2025, the lowest since 1970.
While some agents say they do not see those they apprehend as part of their community, the growing Hispanic presence reflects broader demographic shifts in federal law enforcement amid ongoing national debates over immigration policy and border security.
