Securing America's Ports of Entry Act of 2023

This bill requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to hire at least 600 additional officers annually until staffing targets are met, plus support staff for administrative functions. It mandates a report identifying infrastructure improvements at ports of entry to enhance drug interdiction (specifically for opioids), including detection equipment and officer safety gear. CBP must submit quarterly reports on temporary staff reassignments, notify port directors before redeployments, and provide annual updates on staffing progress and agreement assessments. The bill authorizes $136 million for fiscal year 2024 and $157 million annually through 2029 to fund these provisions.
