Border patrol is hardly related to our current problems. Even following orders to go stand in a certain place isn't terrible until you actually do something wrong.
The fact that people (National Guard, Marines, whatever) showed up in LA is a problem. Most of those actual people themselves are not the problem.
You'll say that until you get your electronics searched and interrogated on your political beliefs while coming back into your own country, or get stopped and threatened with violence for exercising your rights at an illegal checkpoint.
Is that border patrol or TSA?
Depends if you're coming in by ground, sea, or plane. Border Patrol operates under CBP which runs ground ports.
