Do you have a source for "a border control officer is indicted every 36 hours"?

The JIC received 256 reports of arrest in FY 2016 involving 251 employees. Five of these 251 employees had more than one arrest in FY 2016. In FY 2017, the JIC received 254 reports of arrest, involving 245 employees. Seven were arrested twice and one employee was arrested three times in FY 2017. This misconduct occurred primarily off-duty but also included illegal activity while on duty, in cases of corruption.

Thanks for your fine source, I first heard it on national NPR who mentioned that it used to be 1 felony indictment every 24 hours, so things are at least 33% better as far as ICE/border control is concerned.

An arrest is not an indictment. Arrests often don't even result in prosecution at all.

That's a very good point.
