New Border Wall Project Completed in San Diego
Release Date: August 15, 2019
WASHINGTON – On August 9, 2019, U.S. Customs and Bor-
der Protection (CBP), in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), completed construction on approximately 14 miles
of new border wall system in U.S. Border Patrol’s (USBP) San Diego
Sector in California. This project, funded with CBP’s Fiscal Year (FY)
2017 appropriation, included the construction of 18-foot steel bollards,
improved road conditions, and additional technology in place of dilapidated and outdated pedestrian barrier.

“The construction of the new border wall system supports
USBP’s ability to impede and deny illegal border crossings and the
drug and human smuggling activities of transnational criminal organi-
zations while increasing safety by allowing agents to observe activity
just immediately south of the border wall,” said Acting San Diego Sec-
tor Chief Kathleen Scudder.
As of August 9, 2019, CBP has constructed approximately
57 miles of new border wall system since 2017. By the end of 2020,
CBP and DOD expect to construct a total of 450 miles or more of new
border wall system if additional funds are identified, including up to
334 miles of new border wall system completed by CBP in high priori-
ty locations across the Southwest border using a combination of the
Department of Homeland Security appropriations, Department of De-
fense 10 U.S.C. § 284 Counter-Narcotics funding and Treasury Forfei-
ture Funds. This includes an addition of approximately 14 miles
of new secondary wall in the same location in USBP’s San Diego Sec-
tor funded by CBP’s FY 2018 appropriation, of which over six miles
have been completed to date.
CBP continues to implement President Trump’s Executive Order
13767 – also known as Border Security and Immigration Enforcement
Improvements – taking steps to expeditiously plan, design, and con-
struct a physical wall using appropriate materials and technology
to most effectively achieve operational control of the southern border.

CBP Continues Rescue Operations of Bahamian Survivors
of Hurricane Dorian
Release Date: September 6, 2019
CBP Teams also Staged in the Carolinas to Support Response
Efforts
MIAMI – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) continued to airlift Hurricane Dorian survivors Thursday from devastated
areas in Abaco Island and Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas while
staging response teams in the Carolinas to support potential rescue
operations there.
So far, CBP Air and Marine Operations (AMO) H60 Blackhawk
helicopter crews have airlifted 80 Bahamas and United States citizens
to hospitals or local shelters in Nassau, Bahamas.
“Customs and Border Protection is pleased that we can help our
neighbors in the Bahamas respond to and recover from this horrific
hurricane by airlifting injured and stranded survivors to safety,” said
CBP’s Region IV Lead Field Coordinator Diane J. Sabatino. “CBP is a
vital border security agency that possesses a wide variety of personal
and technical capabilities ideally suited for these types of life-saving
and humanitarian missions.”
Additionally, CBP AMO P-3 aircraft crews continue to fly realtime coastal damage assessment missions and serve as local air traffic
controller missions for interagency aircraft supporting Bahamas response efforts.
Meanwhile, CBP aircraft, trailered-vessels, and agents and officers are staged in the Carolinas and ready to support federal, state and
local emergency response efforts once Hurricane Dorian passes. These
units may conduct swift-water rescue, advanced life-saving care, and
aerial and urban search and rescue.
196
CBP Region IV covers Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North and
South Carolina, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, the Caribbean,
Puerto Rico and the U.S Virgin Islands.
Historically, CBP officers and agents support local, state, and
federal agency partners during natural or man-made disasters or other
national emergencies. CBP contributes a variety of personnel and
unique capabilities – including aerial and urban search and rescue, advanced first aid, and aviation assets with real-time aerial damage as-
sessment and tracking and detection capabilities.
CBP’s highest priorities during a hurricane responses are to
promote life-saving and life-sustaining activities, the safe evacuation
of people leaving the impacted area, the maintenance of public order,
the prevention of the loss of property to the extent possible and the
speedy recovery of the region.

International Travelers Should Know of Souvenir Re-
strictions
Release Date: August 20, 2019
Many popular items purchases abroad can pose threat to U.S.
WASHINGTON – For many, summer means travel to exotic in-
ternational destinations and an opportunity to bring home tasty, rare,
and unusual souvenirs to share with friends and family.
U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reminds travelers to
take additional precautions in visiting livestock farms and bringing food
and agricultural products into the country to prevent the introduction
of exotic plant pests, invasive species, and foreign animal diseases.
197
Travelers should declare all fruits and vegetables and be familiar
with items that are prohibited or restricted from entering the United
States.
Diseases such as African Swine Fever could devastate our pork
industry significantly impacting our Nation’s economy. Additionally,
the Mediterranean fruit fly is a destructive and invasive pest that feeds
on a plethora of fruits and vegetables that would immensely affect our
growers and farmers if introduced into the United States.
“International travel is a highlight of summer vacation for many
families, a time to identify with other cultures and embrace our diversity, or just to relax,” said MikelTookes, Deputy Executive Director, Agriculture Programs and Trade Liaison. “Travelers arriving in the United States should be aware that many meats, fruits, and vegetables are
prohibited or restricted entry and not to purchase certain items abroad,
and to please plan ahead to ensure they can bring those items home.”
At ports of entry, CBP officers and agriculture specialists protect
the U.S. by enforcing hundreds of laws and regulations, including
those regarding prohibited and restricted items. Prohibited items are
forbidden by law to enter the United States, often due to safety concerns, whereas restricted items require special licenses or permits from
a federal agency before the item is allowed to enter.
The following list depicts popular regulated or restricted souvenirs that CBP Agriculture Specialists frequently encounter from the
various listed regions:
Caribbean and Mexico
green palm items (hats, animals made from palm); Haitian
goat hide drums; ackee; Giant African Snails; whole coconuts; live
birds; dried cactus; coral; whale bones
Europe
wood carvings; pork legs; absinthe; haggis; seeds and bulbs
in ready to grow souvenir containers; fresh sheepskins contaminated

Border Patrol and Air and Marine Operations Rescue
Woman in Joint Effort
Release Date: September 6, 2019
CALEXICO, Calif. – Air and Marine Operations (AMO) out
of Yuma, Ariz. and U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the El Centro
Sector rescued a suspected illegal alien lost in the desert 25 miles east
of the Calexico West Downtown Port of Entry on Thursday evening.
The incident occurred at approximately 6:30 p.m., when AMO
agents observed foot sign going north from the International Boundary
Fence towards Interstate 8. AMO agents followed the foot sign and
encountered a woman north of Interstate 8 who appeared to be uncon-
scious. AMO notified Border Patrol agents patrolling near the area.
Border Patrol agents arrived on scene, requested Emergency
Medical Assistance (EMS) and quickly rendered first aid. A Border
Patrol agent certified as an Emergency Medical Technician adminis-
tered oxygen and performed rapid cooling techniques while they wait-
ed for EMS.
“Air and Marine Operations agents are highly experienced and
skilled individuals, to track foot sign from the air ship is amazing,”
said Acting Chief Patrol Agent Ryan J. Scudder. “Their actions al-
lowed for our Border Patrol agents to respond and quickly render life-
saving aid to someone that otherwise would have perished.”
EMS arrived on scene and transported the woman to the Yuma
Regional Medical Center for further evaluation and care.

izen and visa holder arrived at the San Ysidro port of entry driving
a 2000 Ford Focus. A CBP officer and his canine were screening vehi-
cles when the dog alerted to the vehicle’s engine. CBP officers referred
