Information about the Border Patrol may be found in the Enforcement section of the CBP website. Try . However, not much information is given.

Official corruption, alien smugglers, coyotes, drug trafficking, rebels selling cocaine for arms, organized crime and even terrorist groups combine to make the Mexican border a new threat to US security.

NOTE—MOST CAREFULLY—THAT THE 2 ARMED GROUPS ARE THE NARCOS AND THE REBELS, ASIDE FROM THE ARMY & POLICE. Migrants have nothing to do with the drug problem, nor do the terrorists.
