"The public Quizlet set contained information about alleged codes for specific facility entrances. 'Checkpoint doors code?' asked one card, with a specific four-digit combination listed in response."
"If the Quizlet set was created by an individual associated with CBP, it represents a serious breach in security for an agency created to 'safeguard the American homeland.'"
"Another series of cards described certain immigration offenses and related federal charges: misuse of a passport, fraud or misuse of a visa, and fleeing from a checkpoint."
A public flashcard set on Quizlet revealed confidential security information regarding US Customs and Border Protection in Kingsville, Texas. The set, titled 'USBP Review,' included specific codes for facility entrances and detailed immigration offenses. It was made private shortly after inquiries were made about the user. The incident is under review by CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility, which stated that the review does not imply wrongdoing. The Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not comment on the situation.
