Federal Report Criticizes Border Patrol's Uvalde Response
News summary

A recent federal report has revealed that U.S. Border Patrol agents who responded to the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, in May 2022 lacked sufficient training and failed to establish command at the scene. Out of 78 Border Patrol agents present, only 30 had completed a three-day active shooter training course, while 37 had no additional active shooter training beyond what they received at the USBP Academy. The report highlights a chaotic response, noting that no law enforcement officials established clear command, which contributed to delays and confusion during the attack, where a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers. Despite these findings, the report concluded that the agents did not violate any rules or regulations, and no disciplinary action was recommended. Families of the victims continue to seek accountability for the slow police response, which saw the gunman inside the classroom for over 70 minutes before being confronted. The Border Patrol has not faced the same level of criticism as local police forces, who have been scrutinized for their inaction during the incident.
