Executive Assistant Commissioner Diane J. Sabatino, an official with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), used her social media account to communicate a range of updates and advisories in late April 2026.
On April 29, Sabatino addressed international visitors planning to attend the FIFA World Cup 2026 in the United States, writing: "Attention international fans coming to the U.S. for @FIFAWorldCup 2026: Check if your country participates in Global Entry and consider applying. It’s one of the fastest ways to enter the U.S.!

The following day, on April 30, Sabatino reported on enforcement actions at a border crossing: "STOPPED AT THE PORT - Eagle Pass POE
Back to back enforcement actions at the port.
CBP officers found 57.09 lbs of cocaine hidden in a vehicle floorboard and 237.21 lbs of meth concealed in a trailer floorboard.
More than $2.8M in narcotics seized.

Later that same day, Sabatino referenced previous collaborative efforts between CBP and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Railway, stating: "#TBT - Last year, @CBP and @CPKCrail announced a border security collaboration that increases the security of growing trade by rail between the United States and Mexico at the Laredo Rail Port of Entry in Laredo. #OFOProud @DFOLaredo

The Global Entry program referenced by Sabatino is designed for international travelers seeking expedited processing when entering the United States. Applicants must undergo background checks and interviews as part of their application process (source: U.S. Customs and Border Protection). Drug seizures like those described are part of regular operations conducted by CBP officers across various ports of entry nationwide. Additionally, partnerships between CBP and private sector entities such as CPKC aim to strengthen border infrastructure amid rising volumes of North American rail trade.
