A bill to establish the Department of Homeland Security Northern Border Mission Center.
This bill establishes a centralized "Northern Border Mission Center" within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to coordinate operations along the U.S. northern border with Canada and the maritime border with Russia. The Center, located co-located with existing DHS facilities (like Border Patrol sectors and Coast Guard stations), will integrate personnel from CBP, Coast Guard, ICE-HSI, and other DHS components to enhance domain awareness, information sharing, training, and technology testing for border security. Key functions include supporting the DHS Northern Border Strategy, testing border security technology (including counter-drone systems), and addressing resource challenges, while requiring annual reports to Congress on operations and needs. The Center expires on October 1, 2027, and no new funding is authorized for its implementation.
