Project Description The Calexico West Land Port of Entry (LPOE) is one of the busiest crossings on the southern border. The space required for modern inspection technologies is insufficient and the ability of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to accomplish its rapidly changing mission is seriously compromised by the existing facilities.
