US-Canada Aerial Law Enforcement: Enhancing Border Security and Protecting Rights.
This Act authorizes the Department of Homeland Security to negotiate an agreement with Canada to establish a joint aerial law enforcement program along the northern border. The goal is to improve security against smuggling and illegal activities, while explicitly requiring that the civil rights and privacy of US citizens are fully protected during these cross-border operations. If established, the program's jurisdiction will generally be limited to 50 miles on either side of the border.
Key points
Increased security cooperation with Canada through joint aerial patrols along the northern border.
Mandatory protection of US citizens' civil rights, civil liberties, and privacy during all integrated operations.
Requires a detailed report on the use of drones (UAS) by law enforcement and the threats posed by unauthorized drone use by criminals or foreign actors.
