Creates new centers for federal, state, and local law enforcement to work together on border security.
This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to set up at least two Joint Operations Centers along the southern border. These centers would help federal, state, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies work together more closely. This aims to improve how they handle border security and stop criminal activity.
Today, there are no federally required Joint Operations Centers along the southern border for all levels of law enforcement to coordinate. After this bill, the Department of Homeland Security would establish at least two such centers within six months. These centers would serve as central places for federal, state, local, and Tribal agencies to work together on border security, share information, and coordinate operations.
