Another series of cards described certain immigration crimes and related federal charges: misuse of a passport, fraud or misuse of a visa, and fleeing a checkpoint. The cards on voluntary return to countries outside the U.S., expedited removal, and order of removal described the forms that needed to be completed and then offered a reminder about a checklist on something called the “Agent Resource Page” to ensure “accuracy of all of the above.”
“We take reports of sensitive or inappropriate content seriously and act promptly when content is found to violate our policies,” a Quizlet spokesperson wrote in a statement. “We encourage anyone who encounters concerning material to report it directly from the card pool, class, or profile page, or to contact us so we can review it and take appropriate action.”
Other cards offered detailed information about the Kingsville workforce’s 1,932-square-mile area of responsibility, including the county’s six borders, and the agency’s internal network and zoning organizational system. A network “does not exist,” one card notes, due to the structure of local roads.
Another card named the 11 CBP “towers” in the area. (Some of the tower names correspond to doors and codes that WIRED is hiding due to possible confidentiality.) The card indicates the abbreviated names of two towers and the shared responsibility area of a third tower.
The latest card details an apparent internal system, “E3 BEST,” that allows officers to “record, investigate, and adjudicate secondary referrals at USBP checkpoints” by allowing them to “query subjects and vehicles simultaneously across multiple police databases and create e3 events for referrals that result in an arrest.”
This possible exposure of confidential information occurs in the midst of a rapid increase in hiring at CBPwith up to $60,000 in recruitment and retention incentives available to some new agents. ICE is also trying to recruit quickly, with your plan offering a $50,000 signing bonus and up to $60,000 in student loan repayment.
