Advanced Border Coordination Act of 2025

S 41, the Advanced Border Coordination Act of 2025, requires the Department of Homeland Security to establish at least two Joint Operations Centers along the southern border within six months of enactment. These centers will coordinate border operations among federal agencies (like DHS, Defense, and Justice), state, local, and tribal law enforcement to address issues including drug trafficking, human trafficking, illegal crossings, and transnational criminal activity. The bill mandates that centers facilitate information sharing between agencies, track personnel deployments, and coordinate training to improve communication and interoperability. Additionally, the Secretary must report annually to Congress on center operations, resource use, and recommendations for improving coordination.
