U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) posted a series of statements on December 15, 2025, highlighting recent efforts at the U.S. border and addressing issues related to child exploitation, trafficking, and border security.
In a tweet published at 17:30 UTC, CBP quoted Border Czar Tom Homan: "We are finding the children who were lost by the Biden administration. One exploited child is too many, and we have already found many who were victims of sex trafficking and forced labor."
Later that day, at 18:00 UTC, CBP shared another statement from Homan: "With a secure border, lives are being saved every day, sex trafficking has plummeted, fentanyl has plummeted."- Border Czar @RealTomHoman
Saving lives and protecting America, it's what we do."
At 20:05 UTC on the same day, CBP issued a warning regarding conditions at the Northern border: "Temperatures are steadily dropping at the Northern border. Do no risk your lives attempting to cross the frozen landscape to enter the United States illegally.
You will be caught, prosecuted, and removed."
CBP is responsible for securing U.S. borders and preventing illegal crossings as part of its broader mission to enforce immigration laws and protect against transnational threats.
