Bill overview
The Homeland Threat Response Act amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to allow the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assist in investigations of violent acts, shootings, and mass killings. Specifically, the bill expands CBP’s authority to provide support during these investigations, shifting the focus from simply ‘investigation’ to broader terms like ‘response,’ ‘threat mitigation,’ ‘resolution,’ and ‘assistance.’ This aims to enhance the federal government’s ability to address these serious incidents and support local law enforcement.
