Item: The New York Times said in a February 14 headline that the Border Patrol is sending “elite tactical teams to many sanctuary cities.” The large feature photo depicted an intimidating officer pointing a weapon from within an armored vehicle, with the caption reading (in the online version): “An agent with the U.S. Border Patrol Tactical Unit, known as BORTAC, an elite group that functions essentially as the SWAT of Border Patrol.”
The left-wing paper quoted a spokesman for Customs and Border Protection who “confirmed that the agency was deploying 100 officers to work with ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], which conducts arrests in the interior of the country.”
Among those being deployed were members of BORTAC, said the Times. “With additional gear such as stun grenades and enhanced Special Forces-type training, including sniper certification, the officers typically conduct high-risk operations targeting individuals who are known to be violent, many of them with extensive criminal records.”
