The government auditor for DHSgov issued a damning report outlining its failure to care for its workforce. 'Details and overtime have had negative impacts on the health and morale of law enforcement personnel, who already feel overworked.'
The DHS Office of Inspector General released the results of an audit this week that stemmed from interviews with 9,311 federal law enforcement at U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.The audit concluded that the DHS agencies were pushing to the limit its 80,000 combined employees in response to the highest-ever influx of illegal immigrants ever in national history.
In one example, Border Patrol had 16,700 agents on staff in fiscal 2019 and apprehended on average 71,000 immigrants per month that year. In 2022, Border Patrol's 16,600 agents dealt with 183,000 immigrants. A DHS official pointed to the White House's budget request for fiscal 2024, which requests funding for 300 additional Border Patrol agents. Although the DHS has touted it as the first such increase in more than a decade, the 300 new employees would still leave the Border Patrol short of about 700 agents — the result of 7% annual attrition.
