Report Description:
From February 28 to March 2, 2023, we conducted unannounced inspections of four U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facilities in the Laredo area, specifically three Border Patrol stations and one Office of Field Operations port of entry. Our inspection revealed instances of high time in custody in some Border Patrol holding facilities. We also found CBP faced challenges properly documenting and securing personal property. Three of the four facilities we inspected did not accurately track or record property on inventory logs or in the respective data systems. In addition, we found inaccurate data in detainee custody logs at all inspected CBP facilities.
