Executive Assistant Commissioner Diane J. Sabatino, a senior official with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), posted a series of updates on her Twitter account between May 3 and May 4, 2026. The tweets highlighted the service of CBP’s canine units, commemorated a fallen officer, and reported on a recent drug seizure.
On May 3, Sabatino marked National Pet Week by recognizing the role of CBP’s agriculture beagles and labradors: "It's #NationalPetWeek! Many of our agriculture beagles and labradors start in shelters. They bond with handlers, protect our nation, and often retire with them or via adoption. We honor their loyalty and service to the CBP mission. #OFOProud https://t.co/TNdyIik9aS".
Later that day, she paid tribute to a colleague who died in the line of duty: "We remember CBP Officer Richard G. McCoy. Sadly, he passed away on May 3, 2020 in the line of duty. A Navy veteran with 33 years of service and dedication to our country, we appreciate his sacrifices and our hearts are with his loved ones. #GoneButNotForgotten #LODD https://t.co/VQojU9C7Wm".
