Bill > HR1930

This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct a comprehensive assessment of staffing needs at the southern border of the United States within 90 days of the bill's enactment. The assessment must include reviews of existing staffing models for Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), examining how continuous overtime and temporary details are used to fill staffing gaps. The study will also identify factors affecting workloads and staffing challenges, both within and outside the Department of Homeland Security's control, and highlight critical capability gaps in human resources, technology integration, and risk management systems. Within 180 days of completing the assessment, the Secretary must submit a report to key congressional committees, including the House and Senate Homeland Security and Appropriations Committees, detailing the findings and providing recommendations for implementation. The bill aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of border workforce challenges and potential solutions to improve staffing and operational effectiveness.
