Bill overview
The Border Safety and Security Act of 2023 would give the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the authority to temporarily suspend the entry of non-U.S. nationals at the border if DHS cannot detain or return them. This suspension could occur if operational control of the border is not being achieved. States can sue DHS if they believe these suspensions are negatively impacting their residents. The bill focuses on ensuring DHS can maintain control over border crossings and address situations where detention or return is impossible.
