The team received a briefing on alien smuggling and enforcement as well as case briefings before touring the Akwesasne Mohawk Reservation and the northern border in Franklin County. Sarcone thanked our law enforcement partners for an informative and eye-opening experience.

Tragedy strikes again! A mother & 2 children are swept away by the Rio Grande river. Agents & partners pulled them from the water & performed CPR on the young girl. We are praying for the best. This is what our agents see everyday & why they ALWAYS move mountains to save lives.

November encounters outpaced what we saw last year. The policy loopholes that continue to plague our immigration system are exacerbated by the fact that COVID-19 has disrupted regional economies, prompting new waves of migrants during a global pandemic. go.usa.gov/xAa5h

CBP personnel have deployed to the National Capital Region to assist law enforcement partners. These “protests” have devolved into chaos & acts of domestic terrorism by groups of radicals & agitators. @CBP is answering the call and will work to keep DC safe.
