Border Patrol use of force under review by Johnson office
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson is examining CBP use of deadly force rules amid criticism of rock throwing incidents. A confidential DHS official cited a 2010 2012 Police Executive Research Forum review urging a ban on lethal force against rock throwers, while CBP maintains rock impacts can justify gunfire. The report questioned deaths across the border and noted a February shooting near San Diego when an agent said he feared for his life.

It notes a large pool with uncertain willingness to work for modest pay, with average regional first officer pay around 22 400 a year, while major carriers pay about 48 an hour for first officers.
