The U.S. Department of Homeland Security appears in the Epstein files primarily through its component agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which maintains TECS Person Encounter Lists documenting border crossings and travel records.
Most mentions are document headers on CBP travel encounter records that tracked individuals' international movements. These TECS system records are standard border crossing documentation that CBP maintains for law enforcement purposes. Several mentions also appear in Law360 legal newsletter mastheads listing government organizations involved in various legal matters. One mention shows DHS contact during an investigation when authorities tried to delay a flight from the Virgin Islands.
Key Highlights
- •CBP/DHS maintained TECS Person Encounter Lists tracking international travel through U.S. borders
- •One document shows active DHS involvement: a Federal Security Director was contacted to delay a flight during an investigation in the Virgin Islands
- •Under the 2025 Epstein Files Transparency Act, DHS/CBP is required to release flight logs and customs/immigration documentation for aircraft owned or used by Epstein
- •Many appearances are in automated Law360 newsletter headers listing government agencies, not substantive involvement
