Customs and Border Protection has issued internal paperwork to authorize an evaluation of Starlink, the satellite internet service provided by Elon Musk's SpaceX, according to documents identified by FedScoop and a spokesperson for the agency. CBP has created a privacy threshold analysis — an internal document used to analyze potential privacy risks associated with a new technology and whether a privacy impact assessment is necessary — for Starlink internet, a step from agency officials that indicates that the SpaceX service is under serious consideration. It also continues a trend of federal agencies expressing interest in working with one of Musk's companies as the richest man in the world further embeds himself within the Trump administration and leads efforts to cut federal programs and shrink the federal workforce. Newly installed Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell on Thursday issued a memo calling for all Defense Department components to scrub any diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) content from their websites and social media platforms. By March 5 — next Wednesday — DOD components must take down all “news and feature articles, photos, and videos that promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)” from the web, according to the directive, calling the effort a “digital content refresh.” That media must be archived and retained following Pentagon records management policies, states the memo from Parnell, the assistant to the secretary of defense for public affairs.

Customs and Border Protection CTO Sunil Madhugiri joins the podcast for a wide-ranging interview. During the discussion, he highlights CBP's developing AI portfolio, how the emerging technology landscape is evolving, what else is top of mind for the agency heading into 2025, and much more. With ransomware gangs proving capable of quickly reconstituting after government takedown operations, an international alliance wants to ramp up those offensive measures even more. Anne Neuberger, deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging technology, told reporters in a call Monday that the U.S. has observed that there is no one operation that's going to disrupt ransomware permanently and instead, the nation must increase the frequency and increase the breadth of operations combating ransomware, such as targeting the exchanges that are facilitating money laundering and ransomware activity. A service created by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to spur the sharing of cyber threat indicators and defensive measures is floundering due to a lack of outreach, according to a new watchdog report. The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General found that the use of CISA's Automated Indicator Sharing (AIS) system has fallen to its lowest level since 2017, with a 93% decline in the sharing of cyber threat indicators from 2020 to 2022.

PHARR, TEXAS - Dennis A. McKenzie, deputy executive director, cargo and conveyance security for US Custom and Border Protection, was the keynote speaker at the recent Pharr Bridge Board Industrial Warehouse Summit 2.The title of the event was IWS2. The subheading: “Building a Competitive Border Region for Near-Shoring and Industrial Growth.” It took place at the Pharr Development & Research Center in W. Dicker Road in south Pharr. On his visit to the Rio Grande Valley, McKenzie saw a number of ports of entry. He praised the Pharr Bridge Board and the local stakeholders the board works with. “I want to compliment you guys because I go everywhere in the country. I have done cargo since 1989. Northern border, southern border, seaports, airports, rail crossings. You are the only ones coming together as a community to get the work done,” McKenzie said.“I saw multiple cities here, I saw state (officials). I've seen your senator's staffers here. I saw this in Laredo, which impressed me. Then I went to El Paso and I saw it once again. Now I come to the RGV and I see it once again. Public-private partnerships coming together to get budgets like this done.”McKenzie said he could not believe the federal government has not moved quicker on the donations acceptance programs the Pharr Bridge Board has embarked on. The Donations Acceptance Program is a mechanism that allows local communities to work with the federal government to get key infrastructure projects done. Pharr is still working on DAP 15 and DAP 16. The numbers refer to the year the application for the partnership was made. So, Pharr is still working on projects at their international bridge that were registered with the General Services Administration in 2015 and 2016. Here is an audio recording of McKenzie's 40-plus minute speech at IWS2.To read the new stories and watch the news videos of the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service go to www.riograndeguardian.com.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Assistant Commissioner and CIO Sonny Bhagowalia is a longstanding leader in federal government and industry. By trade, his roots are in engineering — which has largely shaped how he views technology's and especially artificial intelligence's impact across various government missions. With technology being pervasive in “everything we do,” Bhagowalia breaks down where he sees AI helping the agency counter cyber threats, tag video and image data automatically, detect patterns and even reduce human exposure to dangerous situations. He describes how his office's “cloud first” and “mobile first” mentality is driving initiatives like digitalization, streamlining public-facing services and processing the 172 petabytes of data it handles every day. Plus, he discusses where industry partnerships are going to make a difference. In the future, he's excited about the potential for quantum safe and quantum processing, as well as a number of cybersecurity tools he's exploring to keep ahead of the changing tech landscape.

Dr. Ronny Jackson was the former physician to the President of the United States — Chief Medical Advisor and Assistant to the President and Rear Admiral, United States Navy (Retired). The discussion on America's Roundtable focuses on the following: — National security threat at the southern border | The Customs and Border Protection reported in March 2023 that at least 69 non-US citizens on the FBI's terror watchlist have been caught trying to illegally enter the US through the southern border since October 2022. — Congressman Ronny Jackson raises concerns about how the drug cartels and transnational organized crime networks are reaping huge profits from drug and human trafficking at the US southern border. — Urgency to address 90% of illegal fentanyl entering through America's porous border, with the vast majority of drugs hailing from China. — Congressman Ronny Jackson reintroduces the bipartisan, bicameral Foreign Adversary Risk Management (FARM) Act. The legislation would help protect America's agricultural industry from malign foreign investors and bolster America's supply chain by reforming the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) — the governmental body that overseas the vetting process of investment and acquisition of American companies. Congressman Ronny Jackson said, “Today, America faces numerous threats to its national security, and the agricultural industry is no exception.

In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde discussed a relatively new development about a bulk surveillance program by an agency of the Department of Homeland Security that tracked the money transfer records of some Americans without a warrant.Please send questions, comments, and suggestions to bidemi@thebidpicture.com.

We have an important podcast this week as we host a discussion about government forced labor policy with Eric Choy, Acting Executive Director, Trade Remedy Law Enforcement, Office of Trade at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). He has worked in the government policy arena for many years, and has had a career in the U.S. military. Today, Mr. Choy directs CBP's forced labor enforcement activities. During our insightful discussion with Mr. Choy, we covered a range of policy issues including U.S. government policy concerning imported products made by forced labor, how the government enforces prohibitions against the importation of such products, as well as the mechanics of enforcing government policy. Our discussion covered topics including Withhold Release Orders (WRO), efforts to enforce the import ban on products exported to the U.S. from the Xinjiang province of China proven to be made with forced labor, along with new technologies to track the movement of raw materials throughout the Asian textile supply chain. Hosted by Jennifer Crumpler, Fiber Development Manager and Manager of the e3 Sustainable Cotton Program from BASF, and interviewed by industry consultant Bob Antoshak.
