El Paso, Texas –
CBP would like to advise travelers that ports of entry are open but
drivers should exercise caution and patience when crossing because of
road conditions.
"U.S. Customs and
Border Protection officers work in all weather extremes with the
singular goal of keeping the nation safe from any and all threats which
may present themselves at a border crossing point," said Bill Molaski,
CBP El Paso port director. "Our officers are prepared, dedicated,
committed and working hard to keep the community and nation safe no
matter what Mother Nature has in store."
CBP
Field Operations is responsible for securing our borders at the ports
of entry. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers’ primary mission
is anti-terrorism; they screen all people, vehicles, and goods entering
the United States, while facilitating the flow of legitimate trade and
travel into and out of the United States. Their mission also includes
carrying out traditional border-related responsibilities, including
narcotics interdiction, enforcing immigration law, protecting the
nation’s food supply and agriculture industry from pests and diseases,
and enforcing trade laws.
U.S.
Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the
Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and
protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of
entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out
of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
