Border Patrol Supervisor in Maine Accused of Modifying Government Computers
Federal prosecutors say Terry Liu traded stolen computer parts online after replacing hardware in at least 46 government computers.
- CBP supervisor Terry Liu was arrested on federal charges of theft and destruction of government property after allegedly swapping hardware out of at least 46 computers at the Calais Port of Entry.
- During the midnight shift, Liu allegedly exploited his position as the lone supervisor to modify computers, admitting he knew the changes degraded system efficiency because he was angry about slow IT repairs.
- Investigators found Liu used Newegg's trade-in program to receive credit for stolen parts, with CBP estimating replacement costs at more than $20,000 for components and more than $105,000 for all 46 computers.
- Liu made a first appearance at U.S. District Court in Bangor on Thursday, where a judge ordered he remain in custody of the U.S. Marshals pending trial.
- Port Director Theodore Cummings had advised Liu in March 2025 against modifying computer equipment, and CBP officials are investigating his employment status and actions taken while on duty.
