Border enforcement agencies

Border enforcement agencies are government organizations responsible for managing and securing a country’s borders. Their primary roles include preventing illegal immigration, stopping drug trafficking, and ensuring that goods comply with regulations. These agencies use various tools and technologies, such as surveillance systems, checkpoints, and personnel, to monitor and control what and who crosses the border. They also work to enforce laws related to customs and immigration, aiming to enhance national security while facilitating legitimate travel and trade. Examples include the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and similar organizations in other countries.
