Integrating New Technologies to Empower Law Enforcement at Our Borders Act
This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to create a comprehensive plan within 180 days for deploying emerging technologies like AI, radar, sensors, and automation to improve border security along the U.S. northern and southern borders. The plan must assess current technology use by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), address security gaps, estimate costs, and outline metrics for success. It specifically directs CBP to integrate these technologies into border operations while phasing out outdated systems and coordinating with the Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate. The bill directly affects CBP’s border security operations and does not authorize new spending or change existing laws.
