The bill updates the 2016 Northern Border Security Review Act to require DHS to update its threat analysis by September 2, 2025, and every three years afterward, now including data on apprehensions by number, type, and region. DHS must also update its overall northern border security strategy by September 2, 2026, and every five years after that, and brief Congress in a classified setting within 30 days of each threat analysis. CBP must also create measures to evaluate Air and Marine Operations' performance on the northern border.
DHS, Customs and Border Protection, and relevant congressional committees are directly affected; residents of northern border states may see indirect effects.
The bill creates ongoing reporting and oversight requirements rather than changing physical border security operations, immigration law, or funding levels.
