The Department of Homeland Security appears in these files primarily through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) travel records—immigration encounter logs, passport information, and border crossing documentation for Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and other travelers.
Nearly all mentions are CBP/DHS travel records documenting border crossings and passport information. These include TECS (Treasury Enforcement Communications System) person encounter reports, passport lookups, and arrival/departure logs from 2013-2021. A few mentions reference DHS in other contexts: a 2014 USCIS immigration document, discussions of DHS cabinet positions in Michael Wolff's 'Fire and Fury,' and references to DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in news coverage. The documents also include standard DHS 'For Official Use Only' classification markings on released records.
Key Highlights
- •CBP travel records show extensive documentation of Epstein's international movements through U.S. ports of entry
- •Records include both real-time border encounters and retrospective TECS database queries conducted during the investigation
- •DHS/CBP records were released through FOIA requests and are part of the broader Epstein Files Transparency Act disclosures
- •The mentions reflect DHS's administrative role in border control, not investigative involvement—the FBI and DOJ led the criminal investigation
