CBP could not say how many agents are going because “staffing levels of law enforcement operations are law enforcement sensitive.”
“CBP is contributing assets and uniformed personnel in support of our federal, state, and local partners who are executing the security plan for the Presidential Inauguration,” a CBP spokesperson told Border Report. “Our collective goal is to ensure that principals, guests, and attendees can celebrate the Presidential Inauguration in a safe and secure environment.”
