The agency also posted links on both July 25 and July 26 without additional commentary: “https://t.co/LL7xRWIWiW” (July 25) and “https://t.co/00wHJcSofZ” (July 26).

CBP is responsible for enforcing laws related to border security, trade, and travel at U.S. ports of entry. The agency’s agriculture specialists play a critical role in inspecting shipments for pests, diseases, invasive species, or hazardous materials that could harm domestic crops or ecosystems. These measures are part of broader federal efforts to protect the country’s food supply and environment from external biological risks.
