Border Patrol and Rio Grande Valley residents respond to policy changes under the Trump administration amid ongoing challenges at the southern border.

While the number could increase to 10,000, the Trump administration has deployed 1,000 Army soldiers and 500 Marines to Texas and California to patrol the southern border, making good on the president's promise to ramp up deportations.

A U.S. Border Patrol agent killed during a traffic stop near the Canadian border worked security duty at the Pentagon during the time of the Sept. 11 attacks.

David Maland, 44, was a military veteran who worked security duty at the Pentagon during the Sept. 11 attacks, his family said.

Governor Phil Scott identified David Maland as the fallen officer, extending his “heartfelt condolences to Agent Maland’s family, friends, and colleagues."
