Identifying Potential Terrorist at the Border Act of 2025
HR 2090 requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to hold any individual encountered at the border in custody until they cross-reference that person's name against the federal terrorist screening database and receive a result. This directly affects all aliens (non-citizens) processed by CBP at U.S. borders. The key mechanism mandates this database check as a mandatory step before releasing an individual, replacing previous procedures. The bill defines the "terrorist screening database" as specified under the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
