Rodney Scott, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner, used his official Twitter account on July 29 and July 30, 2026, to highlight ongoing border security efforts and comment on recent developments at America’s borders.

On July 29, Scott shared an update regarding activities along the northern border: “Different border. Same mission. We met with frontline personnel and partners across the northern border to strengthen the capabilities that keep our nation secure. Together, we protect all of America’s borders.” The statement was posted at 20:30 UTC.

The following day, on July 30 at 15:51 UTC, Scott posted a tweet containing only a link: https://t.co/HQTMrZJNTn. No further context was provided in this message.

Later that evening, Scott addressed issues related to government control over national borders in a tweet posted at 22:17 UTC: “This is what happens when a government loses control of its border. @POTUS gave CBP the mission and the authority to restore order. We did. With @POTUS and @SecMullinDHS backing our agents, you won’t see this kind of chaos at America’s border.”

Scott’s remarks come as part of broader efforts by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to coordinate with partners along both northern and southern borders in response to evolving security challenges.
