On the night of June 11, 2020, Border Patrol Agent Johan S. Mordan was patrolling on foot in a remote area in the boot heel of New Mexico in the El Paso Sector.  Agent Mordan’s partner lost radio contact with him.  The Agent located him a short time later and found him unresponsive and without a pulse.

​

His fellow agents worked to save his life for well over and hour before EMS arrived.  Agent Mordan was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.  There was no evidence to indicate foul play and his death appears to be the result of heat related illness.

Agent Mordan entered on duty on July 8, 2019 as part of the 1127th Session of the Border Patrol Academy.  He is survived by his parents and sister.
