No FAMS at the Border Act of 2024

This bill prohibits Federal Air Marshals (FAMS) from being deployed to the U.S. southern or northern border for border security or immigration purposes, including assisting the Department of Homeland Security with processing immigrants or illegal aliens. It directly affects Federal Air Marshals and border operations by banning their use for these specific tasks, with limited exceptions only if the DHS Secretary formally declares a border crisis and certifies it in writing to Congress. The prohibition applies to all border security and immigration-related activities involving FAMS, overriding other laws like the Immigration and Nationality Act. Exceptions require a specific DHS determination and written certification to congressional committees, with no delegation of this authority allowed.
