Executive Assistant Commissioner Diane J. Sabatino, a senior official with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), used her social media platform on December 15, 2025, to address issues related to consumer safety, border enforcement operations, and trade compliance.
In a post published at 15:00 UTC, Sabatino cautioned holiday shoppers about online scams: ".@CBP reminds shoppers: beware of fake “holiday deal” sites. Check URLs, look for HTTPS, and buy only from trusted retailers. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Stay safe this season! #OFOProud #ShopSmart https://t.co/X6Ef7YPQcT".
Later the same day at 17:00 UTC, she highlighted the role of CBP’s canine teams in security operations along the nation’s borders: "Our K9 teams are not sightseeing, they’re working. If it’s crossing, it’s getting sniffed. #RoadTrip #CBPK9 #OFOproud https://t.co/MikNncAhfU".
At 19:05 UTC on December 15th, Sabatino addressed efforts by CBP to combat tariff evasion schemes that can undermine economic integrity: "Tariff evasion occurs when importers avoid tariffs by mislabeling or misdescribing goods, undervaluing them, use false paperwork, smuggling, or use of false parties for transactions in an attempt to get a lower tariff rate. CBP stops this to protect our economy. #OFOproud https://t.co/ONpCVvk1eS".
The posts reflect ongoing priorities for U.S. Customs and Border Protection during peak travel and shopping seasons. The agency frequently warns consumers about online fraud around holidays and emphasizes its enforcement actions against illegal activities at ports of entry.
