Bill would require regular northern border threat reviews, strategy updates, and classified briefings

Congress would change the due date of the northern border threat analysis from 180 days after enactment of the earlier Act to September 2, 2026, and every two years after that. This amends Section 3(a) of the Northern Border Security Review Act. The first listed date is September 2, 2026, then every two years.

After each threat analysis, the Secretary of Homeland Security must update the Department's northern border strategy. This applies to the Department of Homeland Security's northern border strategy. If the Secretary decides no update is needed, the Secretary must send a notice to the appropriate congressional committees. The update is due within 90 days after each analysis is submitted.

The Secretary of Homeland Security must give the appropriate congressional committees a classified briefing on each threat analysis. This covers each analysis required under subsection (a). The briefing is due within 30 days after each analysis is submitted.

The Secretary of Homeland Security, working through the head of Air and Marine Operations at Customs and Border Protection, must develop performance measures for how well that office secures the northern border between ports of entry. The measures cover air and maritime work between ports of entry on the northern border. The measures are due within six months after the bill is enacted.
