The FBI Continues Campaign to Address Corruption at America’s Ports of Entry in Los Angeles

In advance of the Labor Day weekend, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, in collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Customs Border Protection, and the Drug Enforcement Administration, called on the public for support as it continues to raise national awareness about the dangers of border corruption. Law enforcement encourages citizens and government employees who witness or suspect border corruption to report it to their local FBI field office.

Among the FBI’s top priorities is public corruption, which includes border corruption. Border corruption poses a significant risk to national security and can be challenging to detect due to the number of people who cross the border every day. Drug trafficking, human trafficking, and terrorism are potential threats facing the United States based on the underlying threat posed by border corruption.
