On October 21st, GFN leadership welcomed the newly appointed U.S. Marshal for the District of Minnesota, James Stuart, and Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Farris Wooton, for a collaborative meet-and-greet. The visit brought together CBP component heads across the GFN AOR (AMO, USBP, and OFO) to strengthen interagency partnerships, followed by an insightful tour of the National Air Security Operations Center (NASOC) facility. Stronger together in securing our communities! #GFN #OFO #AMO #USBP

During my visit to @PortofTacoma with @DFOSeattle, our officers conducted targeted outbound cargo inspections leading to an outstanding interception of stolen vehicles. After coordinating w/local law enforcement, the vehicles will be returned to their rightful owner. Great work.

🚨 Important Message 🚨
The border remains CLOSED, and there is NO new asylum program. Those attempting illegal entry will face arrest and prosecution. Don't fall for the lies. Removals may include relocation to a country other than your origin. Stay informed.

Trade Violators are Bad for Business!
Trade violations are harmful to the U.S. economy and can give foreign business unfair advantages over U.S. companies. You can help by reporting suspected trade violators. eallegations.cbp.gov/ #OFOProud🇺🇸 #Trade #BorderSecurity

#SaultSteMarie @CBP officers seized three packages of "shrooms" from a pair of outbound travelers, June 7. Psilocybin comes from certain types of psilocybe mushrooms and is illegal in the U.S.

No chicken soup for you. Agriculture canine Ozcar at O’Hare alerted to a traveler’s bag. CBPAS inspected & found 9 lbs of raw chicken & 1 lb of fresh grape & mint leaves. The prohibited items were seized. The Albanian was informed about the dangers of bringing prohibited items.
