Halt the Invasion Act

HR 7118, the "Halt the Invasion Act," prohibits federal funding for any efforts to regain control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, without Texas's consent. It requires the federal government to reimburse Texas annually for border security costs at Shelby Park, capping reimbursements at the cost the federal government would have incurred if it maintained control. The bill's provisions sunset one year after enactment if Texas fails to publicly report monthly border security data (including arrests and drug seizures) for two consecutive months. This bill directly affects Texas state government and federal agencies managing border funding, creating a specific funding mechanism tied to Texas's data reporting.
