Border crisis, staffing shortage disrupt US Global Entry program
US Customs and Border Protection will cancel some Global Entry program interviews through the end of the fiscal year as CBP officers are diverted to respond to a surge in migrant arrivals at the southwestern US border. “CBP continues to respond to the ongoing humanitarian and security crisis on our southwest border. In response to this effort, CBP is temporarily reducing staff at Global Entry Enrollment Centers nationwide and reassigning them to support frontline traveller processing at ports of entry during the busy summer months,” a CBP spokeswoman said. The Airports Council International-North America said it is "very concerned that the disruption of Global Entry due to the diversion of CBP officers...will detract from future program enrolments, resulting in increased wait times for international travellers arriving in the US”. <br/>
