On January 27, 2017, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order:  Protecting the Nation
from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States.  It is the policy of the United States to
protect its citizens from foreign nationals who intend to commit terrorist attacks in the United
States; and to prevent the admission of foreign nationals who intend to exploit United States
immigration laws for malevolent purposes.
 
As we push forward in our efforts to protect our Nation, OFO Operations will require daily
reporting on our activities as related to this Executive Order.  Reporting will include
encounters in the air, land and sea environments with anyone who arrives into the U.S. from
the seven (7) countries (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen) that meets the
criteria outlined in the Executive Order and the instructions issued to the field by
Admissibility and Passenger Programs. 
 
Using the attached spreadsheet, data should be captured daily for the 24-hour time period
beginning at 0300 (EST) – and ending at 0259 hours (EST).  By 0500 hours (EST) daily,
each Field Office is required to submit their data from the previous 24-hours to OFO Field
Liaison (b) (7)(E)
@cbp.dhs.gov).  Reports must be submitting using the
attached Microsoft Excel template document.  Field Liaison will consolidate these reports into
a final report senior CBP and DHS leadership.
