This bill establishes a new Northern Border Coordination Center within the Department of Homeland Security to improve coordination and communication between federal, state, tribal, local, and international partners along the U.S.-Canada border. The Center must be created within one year of the bill's enactment and located at an existing Border Patrol sector headquarters that also hosts Air and Marine Operations and Coast Guard facilities. The Center will serve as a centralized hub for operations, information sharing, intelligence, training, and implementing the Northern Border Strategy, while also developing best practices and policies for personnel working in the region. The bill affects federal agencies involved in border security, state and local law enforcement, Tribal governments, and international partners, particularly those operating in northern border regions. No specific funding amount is mentioned in the legislation.
