Customs and Border Patrol —the nation’s largest law enforcement agency—has been plagued for two decades by a tidal wave of crime, corruption, and misconduct.

Good question!
Why hasn’t the White House released the January jobs report?
The data has already been collected.
There is no excuse for the Trump administration not to release the report as soon as possible.
