Secretary Mullin and CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott Visit CBP Cargo Processing Facility in Arizona
WASHINGTON – On Friday, United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott toured a cargo processing facility in Arizona, seeing firsthand how CBP keeps harmful contraband from entering the United States.
At the cargo inspection facility at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, CBP personnel inspect imported goods for illegal drugs, fraudulent labeling, and other national security threats. Among the items that were seen during the visit were baseball jerseys that were labeled as being manufactured in Mexico, but were actually manufactured in China.
“The hardworking men and women of CBP look at almost every package that comes in, so that dangerous drugs, counterfeit products, and other harmful contraband does not come into our country,” said Secretary Mullin. “The patriots at CBP understand these criminals’ patterns, how the traffickers and cartels try to get around the duties and customs, and the way they try to ship things into our country. That’s why experience matters.”

On Friday, Secretary Mullin also oversaw several deportation flights out of Arizona, removing illegal aliens back to Mexico. Among those deported on Friday were pedophiles, violent assailants, drug traffickers, drunk drivers, burglars, and gang members.
