Passed Both Chambers

Signed into Law

Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Requires Homeland Security to assess gang threats at U.S. borders and create a plan to stop them.

This bill would make the Department of Homeland Security study the criminal group Tren de Aragua and its threats at U.S. borders. It would also create a plan to stop this group. This means federal and local agencies would get new information and strategies to protect border communities.

What Would Change

Currently, there is no specific law requiring the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a dedicated border threat assessment on Tren de Aragua or to develop a strategic plan to counter its threats. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Homeland Security would be required to submit a detailed border threat assessment within 180 days and a strategic plan within one year after that assessment, focusing specifically on this criminal group and its activities at U.S. borders.

Key Provisions

Requires the Department of Homeland Security to create a detailed report on the criminal group Tren de Aragua's threats at all U.S. borders within 180 days of the bill becoming law.
Demands this report describe the group's origins, methods, funding, and presence in the U.S.
Requires the Department of Homeland Security to develop a strategic plan to counter these threats within one year after the report is finished.
Mandates the strategic plan include ways to share border security information with state, local, Tribal, and territorial police.
Calls for the plan to outline efforts to find, stop, and prevent Tren de Aragua and similar groups from growing in the United States.
