On a few occasions recently we've said or written "Customs and Border Patrol." That's a mistake.
Please remember: the agency's name ends with "Protection," not "Patrol."
It's Customs and Border Protection.
True, there is a United States Border Patrol within the agency. The Border Patrol has agents and officers.
But, again, there is no agency called "Customs and Border Patrol."
