Secure America Act

The Secure America Act appropriates billions of dollars to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement for fiscal year 2026 to expand staffing and operations. These funds are specifically designated for hiring agents to conduct functions other than immigration enforcement and customs duties, as well as for purchasing new technology to combat drug trafficking and improve border surveillance. The legislation includes restrictions that prohibit using the money to recruit processing coordinators after October 2028 and bans the deployment of untested autonomous surveillance towers. A portion of the funding is also set aside to hire investigators and analysts dedicated to identifying and rescuing victims of child sexual exploitation.

MINOR
The changes between the engrossed and enrolled versions of S. 2 (Secure America Act) are entirely procedural and formatting-related. No substantive policy, funding, or eligibility provisions were altered. The enrolled version adds standard congressional headers, GPO metadata, signature blocks for the Speaker and Vice President, and reformats section numbering and typography to match final enrolled bill conventions.
TECHNICAL

Added standard congressional header identifying the 119th Congress, session date, and the 'Be it enacted' preamble language.

Added GPO metadata (converter version, dates, public domain notice) and signature lines for the Speaker of the House and Vice President.

Reformatted all section headers to use 'SEC.' prefix with all-caps titles, adjusted paragraph indentation, and standardized quotation marks around defined terms like 'autonomous' and 'qualified cooperating jurisdiction.'
