H.R. 5517

H.R. 5517

Northern Border Security Enhancement and Review Act

Homeland Security Committee · Rep. Nicholas Langworthy (R-NY)

15 September 2026  |  Reported by committee (Homeland Security, H. Rept. 119-830)

What's next: Floor scheduling (leadership decides if and when it gets a vote)

Summary: The bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to conduct threat assessments of the northern U.S. border every two years, examining terrorism and criminal risks, and to update its border security strategy based on these findings. It would also mandate that U.S. Customs and Border Protection develop performance measures to evaluate how effectively its air and maritime operations secure the border between official ports of entry, and would require DHS to brief Congress on its findings and any strategic updates.
