CBP Ops Support EAC Casey Durst, a senior official with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), posted several updates on July 16, 2026, highlighting recent developments within the agency.

In one post, Durst emphasized the importance of CBP Operations Support, writing on July 16: “Couldn’t agree more! @CBP Operations Support is the engine behind border innovation—uniting labs, tech, and expertise to meet every challenge head-on.”

Later that day, Durst announced the graduation of new CBP Officers from Session 726. In her tweet dated July 16, she stated, “Session 726 graduated last week—now they’re officially CBP Officers! Proud, dedicated, and ready to serve. Welcome to the @DHSgov and @CBP family! Inspired? CBP is hiring NOW.

Durst also highlighted the role of K9 units during major events. In a tweet on July 16 regarding preparations for FIFA World Cup 2026, she wrote, “Rounding out @CBP’s FIFA World Cup 2026 K9 Spotlight, let’s hear it for Dan! Dan works with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office to sniff out drugs and other illegal substances. Keep scoring for Team CBP Dan, we are counting on you and your nose! #CBPxFIFA2026 #K9Spotlight”.

The posts reflect ongoing efforts by CBP to modernize its operations through technology and specialized teams. The agency frequently collaborates with other law enforcement entities such as local sheriff’s offices in high-profile security operations like those at international sporting events. These efforts align with broader Department of Homeland Security initiatives to enhance border security through recruitment drives and technological advancements.
