Border Security and Migrant Safety Act of 2023

The Border Security and Migrant Safety Act of 2023 establishes a dedicated intelligence cell within U.S. Customs and Border Protection to track migrant surges and share data on smuggling networks threatening border security. It creates a Department of Homeland Security Joint Task Force focused on dismantling criminal groups exploiting migrants - especially children and families - and requires quarterly reports to Congress on its progress. The bill also expands cross-border partnerships with Mexico, Canada, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador through joint training and investigations targeting human trafficking. These provisions aim to improve intelligence sharing, disrupt smuggling operations, and enhance coordination with partner nations, without altering border enforcement infrastructure or immigration processes.
