Bill overview
The Security First Act reauthorizes the Operation Stonegarden program, which provides grants to state, local, and tribal governments for border security enhancements. It directs the Department of Homeland Security to establish a trust fund funded by unreported monetary instruments seized at the border, and to report on hiring practices and the potential designation of Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. The bill also mandates a technology needs analysis for the Southwest border and requires periodic updates to that analysis, considering various technological advancements and operational needs.
