Brown and Sheriff Wasylyshyn visited the border in South Texas and were briefed by the Texas Department of Public Safety and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Agents. Brown joined a CBP agent field muster, participated in a gunboat patrol mission with the tactical marine unit of the Department of Public Safety on the Rio Grande, and traveled with CBP agents along the border.
