CBP Facilities in Vermont and New York Generally Met TEDS Standards, but Details to the Southwest Border Affected Morale, Recruitment, and Operations

The objective for this unannounced inspection was to determine whether U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) complies with National Standards on Transport, Escort, Detention, and Search (TEDS) and other relevant policies and procedures related to length of detention and conditions of detention at seven CBP short-term holding facilities. In May 2022, we conducted unannounced inspections of three Border Patrol stations in the Swanton sector, one port of entry in the Office of Field Operations (OFO) Boston Field Office area of responsibility, and three ports of entry in the OFO Buffalo Field Office area of responsibility; however, CBP had no migrants in custody.
