Agent = hero
Agent plus technology = superhero that knows who and what is coming, responds faster and more effectively.
Secure borders mean your families are safer. It's that simple.
Border Patrol or Office of Field Operations, a win for one is a win for the whole agency. At the end of the day, keeping contraband off the streets and safeguarding our nation is what it's all about. Same team, same fight! 🫡 #OFOproudUS #BorderSecurity

🚨MS-13 MEMBER ARRESTED🚨
Earlier this year this visa overstay was arrested and charged with DUI. He is also wanted in #ElSalvador for gang-affiliated activity as an MS-13 member. #ElCentroSector agents coordinated with our #ERO partners in New York to locate and arrest this illegal alien.
The distance was no obstacle, and neither is our commitment to removing illegal aliens from our communities.

False certifications and a stolen identity led to the seizure of imported sinks and radiators by Norfolk CBP officers this month. Criminals use stolen identities and fake companies to illegally bring goods into the US and avoid paying tariffs or smuggle banned items.
