It is a deep honor to assume the post of Commissioner at CBP. I know that CBP has faced some unprecedented challenges over the past year as the nature of our mission set is constantly changing. It is an honor to assume this role and assist in keeping our country safe.

NEW: Beginning Saturday, January 22, DHS will require non-U.S. individuals seeking to enter the U.S, via land ports of entry and ferry terminals at the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders to be fully vaccinated for #COVID19 and provide related proof of vaccination.

These new restrictions will apply to non-U.S. individuals who are traveling for both essential and non-essential reasons.  They will not apply to U.S. citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents, or U.S. nationals.

These changes —which were first announced in October— take effect this Saturday, January 22. Read more & prepare for your trip ⬇️ dhs.gov/news/2022/01/2…

CBP is aware of numerous phone scams targeting residents nationwide. The callers often claim to be a CBP officer or Border Patrol agent and demand money or Bitcoin. If you receive one of these calls, hang up and report the call to the FTC. M️ore: cbp.gov/newsroom/natio…
