Border Battle Escalates
The battle between the National Border Patrol Council and the agency's chief, David V. Aguilar, continues to escalate. Now the council has filed an unfair labor practice complaint against Aguilar, the Washington Times reports. The complaint alleges that Aguilar "willfully and blatantly" violated federal guidelines when he sent Senior Associate Border Patrol Chief Jeff Self to meetings of field agents to ask for "show of hands" votes of support for the chief. Self's effort came after the Border Patrol Council issued a vote of no confidence in Aguilar last month.
