Securing Borders, Streamlining Travel: CBP’s Tech Revolution at Laredo

In 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is revolutionizing border security at Laredo, Texas, with cutting-edge tech. Processing over 420 million travelers in 2024, CBP now uses biometric facial recognition, the Mobile Passport Control app, and Global Entry to speed up entry while enhancing security. These tools, like Enhanced Passenger Processing, boast a 98% accuracy rate, freeing officers to tackle threats like drug trafficking—1,314 pounds of fentanyl were seized last year. Conservatives praise the strong defense; progressives flag privacy risks. Allies like Mexico benefit from faster trade, but the UN raises data concerns. As the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup looms, CBP’s tech balances efficiency and vigilance. How will it shape America’s borders?
