1.0 BACKGROUND

As a component of DHS, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is responsible for protecting our Nation’s borders in order to prevent terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering the United States, while facilitating the flow of legitimate trade and travel.

The U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) Swanton (SWB) Sector requires jail space to properly detain illegal subjects awaiting deportation proceedings, held as material witnesses or charged with or convicted of Federal law violations.
