Overview

• CBP and local officials confirm EPP is operating at DFW, ORD, LAX, DEN, CLT, SEA, ATL and MCO, with additional use reported at MSP and the Cross Border Xpress.
• At Charlotte Douglas and Seattle–Tacoma, authorities describe active use to accelerate summer arrivals, with Seattle’s deployment beginning in May.
• Cameras capture an arrival photo and compare it to existing CBP images in seconds to deliver an identity, eligibility and alerts package to officers before contact.
• A CBP report cites processing falling from about 60 seconds to about 10 seconds, cutting estimated wait times by 74%.
• Participation is optional, privacy and image‑retention rules apply under DHS policies, and CBP says the approach lets officers concentrate on higher‑risk travelers as volumes build toward the 2026 World Cup and the 2028 Olympics.
