For the character in GTA Chinatown Wars, see Joe.
Joe is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as a stranger/freak in Grand Theft Auto V.
Description
Joe is a member of the Civil Border Patrol, alongside his best friend Josef, a Russian immigrant obsessively fascinated with America, and both operate in Sandy Shores, where they hunt "illegal immigrants" in order to try and deport them back to their home countries, though most of the time the "illegals" they pursue are legalised United States citizens of mainly Hispanic origin.
Events of GTA V
During their missions, Joe and Josef employ Trevor Philips twice to help them hunt down supposed "illegal aliens". Trevor, a Canadian immigrant himself, dislikes the duo, but assists them because of the monetary reward. After his second outing with the duo, Trevor re-encounters Manuel, one of the men arrested during his second tour with the Patrol, who is a legal United States citizen as his ancestors have lived in San Andreas for over 200 years, well before it was incorporated into the United States. Manuel reprimands Trevor for his actions and, in a regretful fit of rage, Trevor tracks down Joe and Josef to a nearby farm and attacks them. After Josef is killed, Joe tries to escape in a Fieldmaster, but Trevor stops him and kills him as well.
