Abandoned U.S. Border Patrol base

A coffee cup sits on a table at an abandoned U.S. Border Patrol forward operating base near Arivaca, Arizona. Before it was shuttered due to budget shortages related to overtime costs, agents were based here 24-hours per day, putting them much closer to the border. Don Bartletti / Los Angeles Times
