The action never stops for Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents and local law enforcement who patrol the border 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As dawn breaks, agents track a group of suspected illegal immigrants from Mexico.

Animals on the Frontline

For those rare occasions when human skills are insufficient, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents and local law enforcement officers turn to their friends in the animal world for some on-the-job help. In Rio Grande City, Archie, a CBP K-9, helps agents track a group of illegal immigrants spotted passing through.

Smuggler's Stash

Drugs, humans, weapons and money can be hidden anywhere by anyone at any time, and nobody knows that better than the law enforcement officers who work on or near the border.
