U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has recently highlighted its ongoing activities and core values through a series of social media posts in February 2026. The agency, responsible for safeguarding America's borders, shared updates ranging from commemorative messages to operational successes.
On February 16, CBP posted a message recognizing the significance of Presidents' Day and connecting it to the agency's mission. The post stated: "This year on Presidents' Day, we recognize all of the steadfast leadership that helped shape our country into what it is today. We honor the legacy of service that is still reflected in our workforce every day."
Two days later, on February 18, CBP referenced its guiding principles and recruitment efforts with another post: "The Border Patrol’s Motto is Honor First.
While our code isn’t exactly the same as those of the knights of old, we too defend the innocent.
Do you have what it takes?

Later that same day, CBP reported an operational achievement at one of its border crossings: "Another great find by CBP at the Port of Nogales!
@CBPPortDirNOG Canine Officer Coba detected an odor that led to his handler discovering over 119 lbs. of methamphetamine that was being smuggled into the U.S.
Give Coba a in the replies to thank him for his service!"
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is tasked with managing and securing America’s international borders while facilitating lawful trade and travel. The agency regularly conducts inspections at ports of entry such as Nogales—an important crossing between Arizona and Mexico—to intercept illegal drugs and contraband entering the United States.
Recruitment remains a focus for CBP as it seeks individuals committed to upholding its motto "Honor First," reflecting both tradition and ongoing challenges faced by personnel at border locations nationwide.
