Southwest Border Migration [website]
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) continues to see a sharp decline in the number of individuals apprehended along the Southwest border, as well as a decrease in those found inadmissible at ports of entry on the Southwest border. In March 2017, 16,600 individuals were apprehended or deemed inadmissible, this is a 30% decrease from February 2017, and a 64% decrease from the same month in FY2016. Since the Administration's implementation of Executive Orders to enforce immigration laws, the drop in apprehensions shows a marked change in trends. As directed in DHS Secretary Kelly's memoranda implementing the President's executive orders, CBP will remain committed to carrying out fair, impartial and humane enforcement of the nation's immigration laws. CBP will remain vigilant to respond to any changes in trends, as numbers of illegal crossings typically increase between March and May."

CBP Use of Force Statistics
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is charged with enforcing the nation's laws while protecting the civil rights and civil liberties of every individual with whom we interact. CBP's authority to enforce the law, even to the point of lethal force, appropriately bears the burden of accountability, which includes integrity and transparency. These data reflect individual uses of force, not incidents, by CBP law enforcement personnel to include U.S. Border Patrol agents, CBP officers, and air and marine interdiction agents. There may be multiple uses of force applied during an incident."

Use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems in Joint Operations with State, Local, and Tribal Partners
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) unmanned aircraft system program contributes to each of Air and Marine Operations' (AMO) four operational core competencies: interdiction, investigation, domain awareness, and contingencies and national taskings. As illustrated in the Air and Marine Operations Vision 2025, these core competencies directly align with and contribute to CBP goals and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) missions. Domain awareness is the observation of the operating domain (e.g., land or maritime) and understanding the baseline information associated with the domain. Domain awareness operations result in the detection of illegal activity along the border areas of the United States. AMO's domain awareness has improved vastly with the advent of the Vehicle and Dismount Exploitation Radar and SeaVue Radar systems. The UAS's [unmanned aircraft systems] high-endurance capability, coupled with an electro-optical/infrared camera and interchangeable radar payloads, allows CBP to detect and track illegal land and maritime cross-border activity. The UAS have the ability to transmit real-time information such as full-motion video and synthetic aperture radar cueing to a common operating picture, which is passed to ground agents for tactical response. This capability contributes to high domain awareness throughout any type of operation, enhancing mission execution, officer safety, and evidence collection."

Non-Intrusive Inspection Systems Program: Program Specific Recovery Act Plan
"Pursuant to requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ('ARRA,', P.L. 111-5), the following pages provide U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Recovery Act Plan for the NII Systems program. The ARRA authorized $100 million dollars for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that will remain available through the year ending September 30, 2010. […]. This funding must be expended specifically on NII systems. The Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) Systems Program (large scale and small scale) supports the detection and prevention of contraband, including weapons of mass effect, illicit radioactive materials, illicit drugs, currency and other illegal contraband, from entering or furthering their entry into the United States. ARRA funding will provide replacement of systems that reach the end of their useful life and will increase detection accuracy and probability by providing additional NII systems at existing ports, and at new and enhanced ports. This will be done while also creating jobs and providing an economic stimulus into the nation's economy. The legislation recognizes the important role that non-intrusive inspections play in both the security of our country as well as stimulus of commerce. The purpose of this report is to outline the CBP NII Systems program's major activities and objectives, the expenditure plan, delivery schedule, and risks associated with this initiative. The expenditure plan outlines the allocation of the $100 million provided until the end of FY 2010 for the planning, management, acquisition, and deployment of CBP NII systems."

SBInet Program: Program-Specific Recovery Act Plan
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the frontline border security agency within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CBP's mission is to enforce the laws of the United States while facilitating the flow of legitimate travel and trade. CBP prevents narcotics, agricultural pests, and smuggled goods from entering the country and also identifies and arrests individuals with outstanding criminal warrants. CBP leverages its enforcement and intelligence gathering capabilities to execute the mission of border and airspace security. […]. This report in part highlights how $100 million provided under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ('ARRA,' P.L. 111-5) will contribute to DHS and CBP mission objectives by accelerating development and deployment of SBInet technologies on the U.S. southwest border, and modernizing CBP's inventory of tactical mobile radios. SBInet surveillance sensor technology being procured includes mobile and fixed towers, cameras, radars and unattended ground sensors. This funding will also be used to procure existing technologies including Mobile Surveillance Systems, which will provide greater coverage of the border between fixed surveillance towers. CBP's tactical mobile radios used by personnel in the field are outdated, increasingly difficult to maintain, and lack interoperability with other agencies that have border security responsibilities. The ARRA funding will be obligated either through existing contracts or new competitively-bid awards within the next several months. Accordingly, several private industry sectors of the U.S. economy will be the ultimate recipients of ARRA funds, and are expected to contribute to improved performance on U.S. economic indicators."

Tactical Communications Modernization Program: Program Specific Recovery Act Plan
"The purpose of this plan is to provide information on the activities of the CBP Tactical Communications Modernization program which has been dedicated funding by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA). The plan contains an overview of the activities, monitoring/evaluation, delivery schedule, and spend plan for these activities. Additional information is included to provide a snapshot of how the program will ensure the funding is used wisely with extensive accountability. CBP has been planning an enterprise-wide Tactical Communications Modernization project to upgrade Land Mobile Radio systems used by nearly 40,000 Office of Border Patrol, Office of Field Operations, and CBP Air and Marine law enforcement agents and officers in the course of their duty to protect the Nation's borders. Many agents and officers work in remote areas where commercial communications do not exist, and their radios are their only connection to colleagues and Headquarters. […]. The modernization will provide narrowbanding, Advanced Encryption AES encryption2 to protect radio communications from scanning, and Global Positioning System (GPS)-supported Blue Force Tracking to track agent and officer location and safety. CBP also seeks to expand coverage to minimize the risk of agents operating without tactical voice communications. At this point, CBP is focused on LMR as the sole technology that can meet the mission needs of its law enforcement agents and officers. This plan addresses important management approaches (e.g., activities, schedule, measures, and transparency) that is required of the recipients of ARRA funding."

Construction of CBP-Owned Land Ports of Entry: Program Specific Recovery Act Plan
"Pursuant to requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ('ARRA,', P.L. 111-5), the following pages provide U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Recovery Act Plan for the Construction of Land Ports of Entry (LPOEs) program. The ARRA authorized $420 million dollars for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that will remain available through the year ending September 30, 2010. [...]. This funding must be expended specifically on the LPOEs owned by CBP. Modernization of these critical port facilities will benefit not only CBP operations, but also create jobs and provide an economic stimulus into the nation's economy. The legislation recognizes the important role that modern and efficient Ports of Entry play in both the security of our country as well as stimulus of cross border commerce. This legislation requires an intense effort to greatly accelerate the pace of CBP's modernization program and immediate implementation action as it is intended primarily as a wide ranging program to stimulate the regional economies of all communities that are proximate to the CBP Ports. The purpose of this report is to outline the CBP Port Modernization program's major activities and objectives, the expenditure plan, delivery schedule, and risks associated with this Modernization Initiative. The expenditure plan outlines the allocation of the $420 million provided until the end of FY 2010 for the planning, management, design, alteration and construction of CBP-owned LPOEs. The delivery schedule gives a high level view of the major milestones from planning to execution along with an award and project completion schedule."

CBP Directive 3340-049: Border Search of Electronic Devices Containing Information
"To provide guidance and standard operating procedures for searching, reviewing, retaining, and sharing information contained in computers, disks, drives, tapes, mobile phones and other communication devices, cameras, music and other media players, and any other electronic or digital devices, encountered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the border, both inbound and outbound, to ensure compliance with customs, immigration, and other laws that CBP is authorized to enforce. These searches are part of CBP's long-standing practice and are essential to enforcing the law at the U.S. border. Searches of electronic devices help detect evidence relating to terrorism and other national security matters, human and bulk cash smuggling, contraband, and child pornography. They can also reveal information about financial and commercial crimes, such as those relating to copyright, trademark and export control violations. Finally, searches at the border are often integral to a determination of admissibility under the immigration laws."

CBP Air AIPS Guide: System Identified Errors and Manifest Sufficiency Rates
"This guide serves to describe the criteria used and the manner in which CBP (Customs and Border Protection) evaluates APIS (Advance Passenger Information System) manifest's compliance. APIS manifests are evaluated for submission timeliness, manifest completeness (syntactic quality, record quality), data element sufficiency (quality), as well as compliance with APIS regulation rule sets (quality). This guide does not purport to address every possible circumstance under which CBP may issue a penalty in connection with this legal requirement, but is intended as general guidance to assist persons responsible for complying with the AIPS regulations. This document does not create or confer any right or benefit on any person or party, private or public. [...] Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) regulations require APIS manifests to be submitted to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for all commercial aircraft arriving from or departing for a foreign port or place. In addition, APIS regulations require that electronic manifests relative to travelers (passengers and crew) be submitted within specific timeframes. Compliant Air APIS manifest submissions are achieved through either of two submission methods: 1) Interactive and Non-interactive United Nations/Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce, and Trade (UN/EDIFACT) submissions, or 2) Non-interactive eAPIS submissions. eAPIS is a web portal enabling the user to create, manage, and submit APIS manifests. Air APIS submissions through UN/EDIFACT or the eAPIS web portal (https://eapis.cbp.dhs.gov) work to fulfill APIS reporting requirements."

CBP Trade Strategy Fiscal Years 2009-2013
"U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) works to prevent terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the U.S. while effectively facilitating the flow of legitimate imports and people. The safety and security of international trade and the prevention of terrorism are complementary objectives and inextricably linked. The intent of CBP's Trade Strategy reflects the critical responsibility of enforcing U.S. trade laws while ensuring compliant trade flows into the United States. By fostering a safe and fair international trade process, interdicting harmful and inadmissible goods. And protecting the economic security of our industry, the Trade Strategy strengthens our ability to address national and economic security priorities and advances our ability to meet CBP's mission. […] Given the growth and the risk associated with international trade, the challenge is clear-CBP must facilitate legitimate imports while protecting our Nation's economy and people from unfair trade practices, illicit commercial enterprises, and unsafe imports. To direct an effective trade facilitation and enforcement approach, CBP focuses its actions and resources around priority trade issues that pose a significant risk to the U.S. economy, customers, and stakeholders."
