TUCSON, AZ –Border Patrol employees from across the entire Tucson Sector delivered hundreds of gifts and holiday cheer yesterday to help brighten the Christmas season for local children.
This year agents and civilian employees throughout Tucson Sector voluntarily donated gifts to more than 700 children and families through the “Angel Tree” program.
