Securing America's Ports of Entry Act of 2025
S 1678, the Securing America's Ports of Entry Act of 2025, requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to hire 1,000 additional officers annually until staffing meets annual workload needs based on traffic data, including seasonal surges and pre-pandemic trends. It mandates a report identifying infrastructure upgrades to improve opioid interdiction at ports, including technology gaps and safety equipment for officers. The bill also imposes new reporting requirements for temporary officer reassignments, agreements with ports, and annual progress on staffing targets. These changes directly affect CBP officers, port facilities, and the legislative committees overseeing border security operations.
