The Baton Rouge Station is a branch of the United States Customs and Border Protection agency located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Established primarily for crewman control and transportation check activities, the station also conducts city patrol, traffic observation, employer sanctions, and criminal alien apprehensions.
The station's area of responsibility includes the central and northeastern portions of Louisiana. Originally established in the late 1920s, the station was closed during the Great Depression and temporarily reopened during World War II. In 1958, the station was re-established due to increased foreign flag shipping activity at the Port of Baton Rouge, playing a crucial role in border security and immigration enforcement in the region today.
