Bill overview
The Border Safety and Security Act of 2023 gives the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) the authority to temporarily suspend the entry of certain non-U.S. nationals at the border if DHS cannot detain or return them. This suspension would occur when DHS lacks the capacity to control the border, and a state can sue DHS to enforce this authority. The bill aims to enhance border security by allowing DHS to prioritize border control operations.
