What's at Stake
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has a problem with abusive practices, both in border communities and throughout the country. We need to create accountability within CBP and establish robust and independent external oversight. Reform must include downsizing the âmini industrial complexâ in border communities, which exists despite border communitiesâ exceptional safety and a 40-year low in migrant apprehensions. It should also contain measures to ensure CBPâs full compliance with national and international legal standards.
