Only two years later. under CBP. only 52.000 pounds of marijuana were seized. Under CBP. the Shadow Wolves have been hampered by operational restrictions that continuously undermine the units unique capabilities. They are now confined to a seven mile grid along the border. which hampers their ability to track smugglers. they were told they cant do undercover work because "the Border Patrol doesnt do that." and all of the Native American informants on the Reservation are now handled by nonIndian Border Patrol agents. A unit that once had 21 agents is down to 16 and is under the threat of losing more. Low morale and a lack of respect and purpose under the control of CBP threaten their very existence.
