First Responders Emergency Assistance Act

This bill creates a federal grant program to help local first responder agencies (like police departments, fire stations, and emergency centers) cover costs when there's a sudden, large increase in people entering the U.S. from abroad. Eligible entities can use the funds for equipment, personnel salaries, overtime, and other direct response costs related to these arrivals. The program requires 25% of funds to go to agencies in states bordering Canada or Mexico, and mandates detailed reporting on how money is spent and annual progress reports to Congress. Funds cannot be used to reimburse costs for enforcing immigration laws.
