CBP touts historic milestone, pushes for even larger workforce: 'We aren’t stopping here'

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has broken staffing records this spring, the agency announced, reaching 21,471 agents — the most in the agency’s 102-year history.

Agency leadership has said it has plans to go further.

"Surpassing 21,000 agents is a milestone, but we aren’t stopping here and are committed to growing our workforce and providing the tools and resources needed for CBP’s mission," Human Resources Management Assistant Commissioner Andrea Bright said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
