    Today, two illegal aliens accused of attempting to rob and murder a CBP officer in NYC were arraigned and held without bail. Under Pres. Trump and DHS Sec. Noem’s leadership, threats against those who protect America are met with swift and decisive action. #Justice #PublicSafety

    We regret to announce the death of Supervisory CBP Officer Jacqueline Montanaro, who passed away after valiantly attempting to save her daughter’s life. While we mourn, we also acknowledge the incredible response by the community in support of Jaqueline’s family.

    With the help of our adorable K9s, @CBP Agriculture Specialists discover over 15,000 pests a year. These hidden insects could wreak havoc on our food supply and the Nation’s agriculture system if they are not intercepted. @USDA #Plants #Food

    International travel is at an all-time low, but JFK IMF seizures are at an all-time high! Smugglers are trying to funnel drugs through the mail, but @CBP continues to intercept them. In the past 3 days, 161 lbs. of dangerous narcotics were seized. @CBPPortDirJFK
