In a statement, Casey Durst, director of CBP’s Baltimore office, said underage students normally use fake IDs to purchase and consume alcoholic beverages.
“Counterfeit driver’s licenses have historically been used by those under 21 years of age for the illegal consumption of alcohol,” Durst said.
She added that some individuals also use fake IDs to commit illegal activities such as identity theft and immigration fraud.
Furthermore, Durst said CBP officers “continue to exercise extraordinary vigilance during trade enforcement operations.” She said they will remain committed to keeping the United States safe and secure every day.
