The Shadow Wolves are one of the last remaining Customs Patrol Officer units in the country. They control one of the critical points of the border and operate on the Tohono Oodham Indian Reservation in southern Arizona. which has 70 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border running through it. Here we have a Native American group that has been honored all over the United States and the world. something we need at several other parts of the border. and they want to break them up and make them fit some arbitrary thing. when they are really more like detectives than patrol officers. and put them as part of the Border Patrol. I do not have any axe to grind with the Border Patrol. I think they do a great job. But units like AMO and the Shadow Wolves do not fit this cookie cutter approach in trying to systematize this agency. and this bill fixes that before we lose some of our most effective antidrug units in our entire government.
