Referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security.
This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to regularly update its assessment of security threats at the northern border and its strategic response to those threats. Starting in September 2025 and annually thereafter, the department must prepare a threat analysis and then update its northern border security strategy within 90 days of each analysis, or explain why no update is necessary. The bill also requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to brief Congress on the threat analysis within 30 days of submission and mandates the development of performance measures for Air and Marine Operations within six months to better evaluate how effectively the agency secures the northern border in air and maritime areas. The legislation affects the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which must comply with these new reporting and assessment requirements. No specific funding is allocated in the bill, which focuses primarily on reviewing existing border security strategies and improving performance measurement.
