President Trump gave CBP the resources and manpower to put more boots on the ground, strengthen our ranks, and do the job we were hired to do.
The result: most secure border ever.
Happening Today from El Paso 🚨
CBP and @HSTaskForce will hold a live press conference to discuss FY26 successes including large narcotics, firearms, and ammunition seizures.
11:00AM MST | 1:00PM EST
WATCH: https://t.co/dzwB4efeLA
In FY26, we expanded our investment in non-intrusive inspection technology to enhance border security. By deploying more advanced systems, we’re strengthening our ability to detect threats, stop smuggling, and keep our nation safe.
When I see nearly one million pounds of narcotics seized, I see the work our agents and officers put in to keep drugs from reaching American families. These results make it clear: border security IS national security.

Fentanyl trafficking at the southern border declined 56% in FY2026, but 51 pounds hidden in a drum is a reminder of what’s still at stake.
Families have buried loved ones because of this poison. We cannot let up.

In FY26, the de minimis loophole was CLOSED, ending the flow of millions of uninspected packages that traffickers used to smuggle fentanyl precursors and finished product into the country.
Another trafficking run shut down through coordinated regional action. 🚨
A U.S. Government Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) detected a go-fast vessel and notified Costa Rica, @seguridadcrc, and regional partners. A Costa Rican interceptor was vectored toward the contact, and the MPA handed off tracking to a CBP, @CBP, aircraft before returning to base. The CBP aircraft later handed the contact off to a follow on U.S. Government MPA. Additional partner nation maritime and interceptor assets later reacquired the vessel and gained positive control.
3 persons on board detained.
76 bales seized.
Later confirmed: 1,804 kilograms. 📦🚫

Fifty-three people never made it out.
This is the cost of human smuggling. Every smuggling operation we stop is a chance to prevent another tragedy like this.
🚨 The Guatemalan national who was extradited to the United States has been SENTENCED to 30 years in prison for his involvement in the 2022 Mass casualty alien smuggling event in San Antonio, Texas.
"These smugglers value profits over people, and their disregard of the risks or dangerous conditions in which they carry out their schemes too often result in tragic consequences like in this case with 53 people dead. Under @POTUS Trump, @DOJCrimDiv and Joint Task Force Alpha (JTFA) will sustain maximum pressure on these dangerous criminals to hold them accountable for preventable tragedies and protect our borders.” -@AAGDuva
