There is no accountability. In the US there is generally no real internal accountability inside the uniformed units for their behavior towards people outside the unit (if you are a policeman, federal agent or military, you will be disciplined if you steal from or kill a co-worker, but not a civilian).
Only the judicial system sometime takes action against uniformed people. In the case of the CBP, by nature there is no judicial oversight, since most of their actions are not covered by the constitution, and the Executive power doesn't want to provide any due process or any kind of right to the population they are in contact with. There is no system in place to moderate their behavior.
