On March 29, Sabatino emphasized the importance of modern infrastructure at border entry points, stating, "CBP’s mission is significantly enhanced by robust infrastructure at ports of entry.

The following day, Sabatino promoted recruitment efforts for CBP, writing on March 30, "We Hire Heroes! Chat with CBP recruiters at our CBP Spring Virtual Career Expo: March 31, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM ET https://t.co/dl1jRt1SwX https://t.co/26rJBxHIvE".
Later on March 30, she described the use of advanced technology in inspections: "CBP’s Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) systems use advanced X-ray imaging to screen vehicles and cargo without opening them. The technology helps officers detect hidden threats, narcotics, and contraband while keeping legitimate travel and trade moving. #OFOproud https://t.co/6m6rOQV8Dn".
Sabatino's posts reference key aspects of CBP operations. The Donations Acceptance Program allows for public-private partnerships to improve port facilities while aiming to reduce costs for taxpayers by accepting donations of real property or services. Additionally, CBP employs Non-Intrusive Inspection systems—technologies such as X-ray imaging—to efficiently inspect cargo for illicit materials without disrupting the flow of commerce or requiring physical searches.
