WASHINGTON—U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R.
I am honored to be here on behalf of Secretary Johnson; unfortunately he was unable to attend, but I am delighted to be able to participate in his stead.
Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske is leading the U.S. Customs and Border Protection toward a more transparent and accountable approach to enforcement and workforce integrity, while protecting the public and the men and women of CBP.
I’m pleased to be able to address two very important industry groups and I want to welcome those of you who are not “local” to our Nation’s capital. I’d like to thank Todd Hauptli, President and CEO of American Association of Airport Executives.
“On March 14, at about 10 a.m. PDT, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the San Ysidro port of entry were notified by the California Highway Patrol of an individual fleeing southbound in a Ford F-250.
First, I would just like to say: Congratulations to all of our new graduates. It’s my pleasure to join you for the graduation ceremony for the CBP Officer Basic Training Session 393. And it’s an honor to celebrate this occasion with you.
WASHINGTON – U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R.
Last week, President Obama signed H.R. 644, the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015 – also known as the Customs Authorization Bill.
This legislation is a major milestone for CBP, as it is the first reauthorization for our agency since it was created under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security in 2003.
I would like to congratulate U.S. Customs and Border Protection Deputy Commissioner Kevin A. McAleenan on the U.S. Travel Association 2016 Distinguished Travel Champion Award.
