Key Points

  • This bill requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection to post detailed statistics on a public website by the 7th day of every month. The goal is to give the public a clearer and more frequent update on what is happening at the nation's borders.
  • The monthly reports must include the total number of people stopped at the border, their nationalities, and any drug seizures. It also requires data on 'got aways,' which are people who were spotted by surveillance but not caught by agents.
  • The agency would have to specifically report on people found on terrorist watchlists or those belonging to international gangs. The report must show whether these individuals were sent back to their home countries or released into the United States.
  • Every year, the Department of Homeland Security would be required to give Congress a detailed assessment. This report would focus on how international gangs and terrorist groups are trying to enter the U.S. through the southern, northern, or sea borders.
