This bill would prohibit the Federal Air Marshals Service from deploying officers to the U.S. southern and northern borders for border security or immigration purposes, including assisting with processing immigrants. The measure affects the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Air Marshals program, which currently may use air marshals for border-related duties. The legislation includes a narrow exception that allows such deployments only if the Secretary of Homeland Security formally determines and certifies to Congress that a border crisis exists, and the Secretary cannot delegate this authority to anyone else. The bill contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines beyond the prohibition taking effect upon passage.
