Customs and Border Protection is the largest federal law enforcement agency in the US, managing all entry and exit points including airports, seaports, and land borders. CBP officers at ports of entry inspect documents, verify visa validity, determine admissibility, and issue the I-94 record. They have broad authority to deny entry even to valid visa holders. CBP processed approximately 400 million travelers at US ports of entry in 2024. At the border, CBP officers can question travelers, inspect electronic devices, and conduct secondary inspections lasting hours.
