  <dc:description>Our remarks are based on our report, released today, entitled Southwest Border: CBP Needs to Increase Oversight of Funds, Medical Care, and Reporting of Deaths. Specifically, we will summarize the report&apos;s key findings on (1) the extent to which CBP obligated and conducted oversight of funds for consumables and medical care; (2) steps CBP took to enhance medical care; (3) the extent to which CBP implemented and oversaw its medical care efforts; and (4) the extent to which CBP has reliable information on, and reported, deaths, serious injuries, and suicide attempts of individuals in custody. For the report, we reviewed CBP documentation, including financial reports; directives, policies, and training related to screening individuals for medical issues; and directives and policy documentation on reporting deaths in custody. We interviewed CBP officials in headquarters and two field locations and observed medical efforts in facilities in field locations, selected based on higher volumes of apprehensions. Additional information on our scope and methodology is available in our report. The work on which this statement is based was performed in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.</dc:description>
