Since its creation in March 2003, CBP has achieved steady progress in securing our nation’s borders against terrorists and other criminals while continuing to facilitate travel and trade.

To support these efforts, CBP developed an integrated, unified, recognizable workforce that combines and capitalizes on the skills of each individual within it.

Under a provision of the Immigration Act of 1990, the Attorney General may designate nationals of a foreign state to be eligible for TPS with a finding that conditions in that country pose a danger to personal safety due to ongoing armed conflict or an environmental disaster. Grants of TPS are initially made for periods of 6 to 18 months and may be extended depending on the situation. Removal proceedings are suspended against aliens while they are in Temporary Protected Status.
