Prohibiting Federal Air Marshals Deployment to US Borders
This bill aims to restrict the deployment of Federal Air Marshals to U.S. borders for security or immigration purposes, unless the Secretary of Homeland Security declares a border crisis. This means their role will be more focused on aviation security, potentially impacting how border management and immigration processing are handled.
Key points
Federal Air Marshals will be prohibited from deployment to U.S. northern and southern borders for border security or immigration tasks.
An exception applies only if the Secretary of Homeland Security determines and certifies that a border crisis exists.
The change intends to refocus Federal Air Marshals on their primary aviation security duties, potentially shifting resources for border management.
