EL PASO, Texas — He may have returned to El Paso, but US Border Patrol Agent (BPA) Ken Greggs says he doesn’t feel like he ever truly came home from his harrowing 27-day deployment to Portland, Oregon.
“Every time I hear a leaf blower, it’s like I’m right back inside that courthouse,” Greggs said. “I still hear the drum circles when I close my eyes.”
Greggs, 23, enlisted in the US Border Patrol Tactical Unit, or BORTAC, after completing two years of service as a radio specialist in the Army.
