I am honored to present the Border Patrol Achievement Medal to two BPAs. The agents were performing routine boat training when they spotted an individual in distress floating in frigid water. The agents pulled the man to safety and rendered immediate aid. #HonorFirst

Border Patrol checkpoints are an important part of our multi-layered strategy to prevent the smuggling of persons and narcotics into the interior as smugglers continue to put migrant lives at risk with these dangerous attempts. https://t.co/Qqrhl968YO
Great work RGV Team! Border Patrol Agents discovered 29 smuggled migrants in tractor trailer cases at the Javier Vega Jr. and Falfurrias checkpoints over the last week. Outstanding work #Falfurrias and # Kingsville Station! Go USBP 💚🇺🇸

Smugglers continue their creative attempts to bring narcotics across our border. Well done by our CBP officers using a variety of assets, including x-ray imaging and canine detection, to find these loads concealed within the frame beams of railcars. https://t.co/E3B2DO5E2F
During routine inspections, Calexico CBP officers found almost 500lbs of meth inside rail cars. The estimated street value of the narcotics found in the three seizures was $583,272. MORE: https://t.co/JevxMdopPU

Maritime smuggling is illegal, extremely dangerous, and unforgiving. @CBPAMO and Border Patrol agents work with our partners to respond to these attempts, which can often end in rescues at sea due to overcrowded and unsafe vessels. https://t.co/AkOIJ6qd2s
On Sunday, U.S. Border Patrol agents with support from LE partners responded to 3 migrant landings in the Florida Keys and encountered 61 migrants (57 – Cuba, 4 – India). All three groups arrived on homemade style vessels. #cbp #borderpatrol #florida #mondaymorning

Selling sports memorabilia is a lucrative business, & the fakes are out there. Cincinnati CBP recently stopped a shipment containing 35 counterfeit NBA championship rings bearing logos, teams, & players. These were heading to a residence in Indiana & if real had a MSRP of $525.

DHS has a lawful process in place for Venezuelan nationals to travel to the U.S. Venezuelans should NOT travel through Mexico to pursue entry into the U.S., as this will make them ineligible for this process now or in the future. For info, visit: https://t.co/ZyoiKLnC4w

Many of our CBP agents and officers participated in trunk-or-treat events across the country this past week. As our personnel live in the communities in which they serve, building relationships and developing trust with community members is critical. https://t.co/Pc5VjhJKCC
Our Duluth agents participated in a #TrunkorTreat event in Superior WI. The event allowed agents to have positive interactions with members of the community.
