UPDATED LETTER (April 4th, 2013)
While
it appears as though Congress appropriated sufficient funds to pay the
salaries of Border Patrol agents within the current Continuing
Resolution (CR), CBP has yet to make a decision on the spending plan.
Consequently, the proposed plans and indecision have unnecessarily
caused Border Patrol agents and their families to worry about their
safety at work and the uncertainty of their financial stability. Please take
action to prevent CBP from reducing the numbers and pay of Border
Patrol agents who risk their lives daily to patrol our borders and keep
our nation safe.

nationwide that checks of transportation hubs and systems located away
from the southwest border of the United States will only be conducted if
there is intelligence indicating a threat.

Sector Enforcement Specialist (SES) Reclassification/Downgrade Update |
|
|
|
Friday, 30 September 2011 |
|
As most Sector Enforcement Specialists (SES) should be aware by now, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) completed the Consistency Review related to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) decision to reclassify and downgrade the SES position to Law Enforcement Communications Assistant (LECA). There are significant issues with this notification to employees regarding this reclassification as the notification includes a Legacy Customs Priority Placement Program (CPPP) that was never negotiated with the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC).
