This report serves as a primer on the key federal agencies charged with border security in the US: the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which patrols the border and conducts immigration, customs and agricultural inspections at ports of entry; the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which investigates immigration and customs violations in the interior of the country; the US Coast Guard, which provides maritime and port security; and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which is responsible for securing the nation’s land, rail and air transportation networks.
