The Border Patrol comprises more than 19,000 agents. Between October 2020 and April 2024, exactly 4,281 federal law enforcement agents left the organization.
The total number of agents who left the Border Patrol included those who quit, were forced to retire due to their age or number of years on the job, or who chose to retire as soon as they became eligible.
By contrast, in the seven years leading up to fall 2020, when Biden won the election, the organization lost an average of 996 agents annually.
