U.S. Customs and Border Protection

U.S. Customs and Border Protection appears in The ICE hiring boom as a [[USDepartmentOfHomelandSecurity|DHS]]-linked enforcement agency whose recruits are trained through Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers. The source also uses CBP with [[USImmigrationAndCustomsEnforcement|ICE]] when Seth Stoughton discusses questionable conduct by federal immigration agents.

The episode’s main point is not a standalone CBP profile, but the way rapid enforcement scale raises shared questions about Federal Law Enforcement Training, supervision, field culture, and accountability across immigration-facing federal agencies.
