H.R. 5517

Northern Border Security Enhancement and Review Act

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

16 September 2026 | Passed House with amendment (voice vote)

What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)

Summary: The bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a threat analysis of the northern U.S. border every two years, examining terrorist and criminal threats and evaluating whether additional screening measures at border crossings could prevent dangerous individuals from entering the country. It would also require the department to update its northern border security strategy based on each analysis and brief Congress on findings, while tasking the agency's Air and Marine Operations unit with developing performance measures to assess how effectively it secures the northern border in air and maritime areas.
