No...you must be at least 21 years old to apply. It's mainly your criminal history that will be addressed, but the fact that your father has a drug trafficking charge, you may be questioned and interrogated as to how much contact, conversation, etc you have with him and his associates.
Whatever you do, be honest and open otherwise you don't have a shot because they will investigate all of your claims during your background investigation.
Good Luck!

You are the police applicant, not your father. They will do a thorough background check on you, and see if you are in cahoots with your father in any way during his crime spree, If you turn up clean, I think they will accept you. Most people go into the U.S. Border Patrol from other police agencies. Not many get in without prior law enforcement experience, unless you are outstanding in some way, like academics, or have other special talents.

It didn't say anything about that on their website.
You have to be at least 21 to apply.
Check the link below to see what the other requirements are.
You are not responsible for what your father did, he is.
Check with the border Patrol recruiter to be sure..

Yes. Just be sure to provide this information BEFORE your background check is done.
