Statement of Acting Commissioner Mark Morgan on Signing of Agreements with Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras

Release Date
Tue, 12/29/2020

“These humanitarian agreements demonstrate the Trump administration’s unwavering efforts to secure America’s borders from illegal entry by working closely with our regional partners,” said CBP Acting Commissioner Mark A. Morgan. “Without these agreements, we will likely see waves of attempted illegal entries similar to what we saw in 2019. Our collaborative approach with our partner countries will protect the American homeland from uncontrolled mass migration during a global pandemic while also allowing migrating Central Americans a safe place to seek protection closer to their homes.”

 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between official ports of entry. CBP is charged with securing the borders of the United States while enforcing hundreds of laws and facilitating lawful trade and travel.
