Requires regular updates on northern border security threats and strategies.
This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to regularly update its review of threats along the U.S.-Canada border. It would also make the department update its northern border security plan and give Congress classified briefings, providing lawmakers with more current information.
Today, the Northern Border Security Review Act only required a one-time northern border threat analysis 180 days after it passed, and it doesn't require regular updates to the strategy or classified briefings. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Homeland Security would have to update its northern border threat analysis every two years, starting September 2, 2026. It would also need to update its northern border strategy within 90 days of each analysis and give classified briefings to Congress within 30 days.
