Results of Unannounced Inspections of CBP Holding Facilities in the Miami Area

In November 2022, we conducted unannounced inspections of six U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facilities in the Miami area, specifically two Border Patrol stations and four Office of Field Operations ports of entry. Our inspections found the CBP facilities generally met the National Standards on Transport, Escort, Detention, and Search (TEDS standards) for cleanliness, food and beverages, supplies and hygiene items, bedding, and medical care. However, we found inaccurate data in detainee custody logs at two Border Patrol stations. Detainee custody logs in Border Patrol’s system of record did not accurately account for amenities provided to detainees in custody.
