Whistleblower Retaliation Report of Investigation Regarding Alleged Reprisal Against a CBP Officer

We conducted this investigation in response to allegations that a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at the Detroit Port of Entry, received a letter of reprimand prompted by his supervisor in reprisal for Complainant's attempt to report perceived Fourth Amendment and racial profiling violations to CBP's Office of Chief Counsel . The Complainant claimed the formal reprimand caused him to be denied a temporary duty assignment.
