Bill overview
This bill, the Subterranean Border Defense Act, aims to improve the government’s ability to monitor and address the threat of illicit cross-border tunnels. It requires the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency to submit annual reports on their efforts to counter these tunnel operations. Currently, CBP only reports once a year after a strategic plan is developed. The bill seeks to establish a more consistent and ongoing assessment of this security challenge.
