Note: Updates are weekly and typically on the same day of the week in a given month. For example, it may occur every Monday in February, but every Wednesday in March. Updates are typically posted on
twitter around 10 to 10:30 am Central time. Not often, but there may be a few weeks where there are no updates. I will try to limit my sources for updates to officials from CBP.
