170 Cases and Counting: Inside the Sexual Misconduct Crisis at CBP and ICE
Description
In this deeply personal and investigative episode of The Raid, host John Carlos Frey sits down with former Border Patrol agent and whistleblower Jenn Budd to expose what she describes as a systemic culture of sexual misconduct within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Border Patrol, and ICE. Budd, who joined the Border Patrol in 1995, opens by recounting her own sexual trauma during training at the federal law enforcement academy in Glynn County, Georgia — an experience she kept secret for over 15 years, even from her wife.
From her personal trauma, the conversation broadens into a sweeping indictment of a deeply entrenched institutional culture. Budd and Frey walk through a documented list of over 170 agents with allegations or convictions for serious sexual crimes — including rape, child pornography, and sexual assault of migrants.
