Report Description:
In May 2023, we conducted unannounced inspections of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facilities in the San Diego area, specifically four U.S. Border Patrol facilities and one Office of Field Operations (OFO) port of entry (POE). At the time of our inspection, Border Patrol and OFO held 1,187 detainees in custody in the five facilities. We found that 668 (56 percent) of these detainees were held in custody longer than specified in the National Standards on Transport, Escort, Detention, and Search (TEDS), which generally limits detention to 72 hours (3 days), as operationally feasible.
