Security Lapses Discovered At Border Patrol Facility
Security issues, including inoperable security cameras, were discovered at multiple remote facilities along the southwest border operated by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), according to a recent audit report by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General (DHS OIG).
DHS OIG investigated seven Forward Operating Bases (FOBs)—permanent facilities established in remote locations to support Border Patrol operations— in the El Paso, Rio Grande Valley and Tucson sectors to assess whether the facilities provide adequate security and living conditions for CBP employees.
The Inspectors found security concerns at every facility, and determined that CBP does not conduct regular inspections of the facilities. DHS OIG said, “Without regular inspections and timely maintenance and repairs, CBP cannot ensure it will continue to provide adequate security, safety, and living conditions for its personnel working at remote facilities.”
