Accountability assessment
What this record does and does not attribute to the government (see methodology). Where an underlying problem predates this government, only its handling is attributed.
A strong procedural and oversight failure. It does not prove that contraband was inside the containers.
Evidence label: Confirmed failure (A documented failure: a procedural breach, official inquiry or court finding, an admitted error, or a fact-checked false claim.). Record as of edition 2026-08-24.
