EXCLUSIVE — AUSTIN, Texas — Thousands of immigrants who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico border near El Paso this past week have forced the Border Patrol to halt all mental health, physical health, and firearm training to ensure all employee time is spent transporting and processing people, the Washington Examiner has learned.
Agents must be firearm recertified every quarter and trained outside normal shifts to respond to dangerous situations. Those trainings, as well as regional agent-staffed hiring events and Honor Guard protocols carried out by a unit of volunteers at memorial services of employees who die in the line of duty, are on hold.
The biggest impact on agents and concern was suspending the suicide awareness training, which agents are required to attend by the Department of Homeland Security, and the workout program. The suicide training goes through a curriculum that hits on the importance of gratitude; value-based living; capitalizing on strengths; reframing, balancing your thinking; mindfulness; spiritual resilience; physical resilience; interpersonal problem solving; and celebrating good news.To make the situation worse, agents will no longer have an hour each shift to spend doing physical fitness and will be required to do it on their own time.
