Bill > HR195

This bill directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to relocate the headquarters of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to the State of Texas by January 1, 2026. The relocation must include all headquarters functions, personnel, and real assets, and the new location must be strategically positioned to effectively manage border crisis situations. The Secretary is required to collaborate with the Texas Commissioner of the General Land Office and is authorized to acquire land in Texas through a written contract. The bill specifies that any land title acquired must meet the Attorney General's standards for federal land acquisitions. The legislation, which can be referred to as the "U.S. Customs and Border Protection Relocation Act" or the "CBP Relocation Act," aims to relocate the federal agency's administrative center to Texas, potentially with the intent of improving border management and response capabilities by placing the headquarters closer to the U.S.-Mexico border.
