The Civil Border Patrol

“The Civil Border Patrol” is one of Trevor Philips’ exclusive Strangers & Freaks missions in Grand Theft Auto V. In this mission, Trevor meets Joe and Josef, a pair of self-appointed border patrol agents, and joins them in their misguided attempts to apprehend illegal immigrants.

The mission introduces Trevor to Joe and Josef, two eccentric and overzealous men who believe it’s their duty to patrol the border and capture anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant. Trevor, ever eager to get involved in chaos, joins the pair as they attempt to stop a group of supposed immigrants near Sandy Shores. The mission is filled with absurd humor and social satire as Trevor helps these misguided men in their pursuit.
