Introduced
Summary
Boost CBP staffing at ports of entry to meet workload targets and strengthen drug interdiction, paired with port infrastructure reviews and tighter reporting on officer redeployments.
Show full summary
- CBP officers and support staff would face a major hiring drive. The Commissioner must hire, train, and assign 1,000 new CBP officers above attrition each fiscal year until staffing meets the Workload Staffing Model, and may hire technicians and Enterprise Services mission support. A Comptroller General review is required if hiring targets are missed.
- Ports and drug interdiction would get focused planning and equipment reviews. A Ports of Entry Infrastructure Enhancement Report due within 90 days must identify improvements to interdict opioids and precursors, explain why some ports lack certain technology, and list detection and safety equipment needs.
- Visibility and limits on redeployments would increase. CBP must provide quarterly reports on temporary duty assignments with officer counts, ports, duration, costs, and effects on reimbursable services, give 10 days' notice before non-emergency redeployments, and include the Workload Staffing Model in its annual staffing report.

More border officers and port reporting
If enacted, the bill would require CBP to hire, train, and assign 1,000 new CBP officers above current attrition in each fiscal year until staffing meets the Workload Staffing Model. It would allow CBP to hire support staff (technicians and mission support) upon enactment to handle non-law-enforcement tasks. Absent emergencies, ports would get 10 days' notice before employees are moved and affected staff would get a briefing on mitigation plans. CBP would send quarterly reports to Congress listing temporary duty assignments, origin and destination ports, number of officers, duration, costs, and any affected reimbursable service agreements. If hiring targets are missed in fiscal year 2026 or in any later year when targets are not met, the Comptroller General would review CBP hiring practices and report to Congress. CBP would include progress toward these staffing targets in its Annual Report on Staffing.
