This report is the first-ever in-depth examination of the Border Patrol’s transportation raids in upstate New York. It analyzes data, obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, from the Border Patrol’s Rochester Station and Buffalo sector to shed light on the practice and impact of transportation raids. The data paints a disturbing picture of an agency resorting to mission creep in order to increase arrest rates, without regard for the costs and consequences of its practices, including to its own mission to protect the border.
