Episode Details

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is defending its legacy as the nation nears its 250th birthday, tracing its roots back to 1789 and highlighting how its mission—collecting revenue, stopping illicit goods, and enabling legitimate trade—has stayed constant despite massive structural and technological evolution. From the 1924 creation of the Border Patrol to its 2003 reorganization under DHS, CBP has adapted to global threats, especially after 9/11, now leveraging biometrics and smart targeting systems. Recent border encounters have dropped sharply thanks to a new enforcement strategy focused on prosecution, boosting morale. Amid all the change, frontline dedication remains the bedrock, as CBP continues its historic fight against smuggling, trafficking, and other illegal activities.
