TRASHED Border Act
This bill requires federal agencies managing border lands (like national parks and forests) to create plans reducing trash from unauthorized border crossings and illegal camping. It mandates annual reports tracking waste collected (by weight, cost, and location), wildlife habitat impacts, and wildfires linked to human activity. Penalties for violating sanitation rules on federal lands will be doubled, with enforcement details reported to Congress. The law focuses on measurable environmental data collection and accountability, not immigration policy changes.
