Border Security Transparency: Annual Reports on Tunnels and Special Interest Aliens.
This law mandates increased transparency in border security operations by requiring annual reports on efforts to counter illicit cross-border tunnels. Crucially, it compels the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to publicly release detailed data and definitions regarding encounters with "special interest aliens" (SIA), enhancing public oversight of border threat management. This ensures citizens receive more information about how border threats are identified and handled.
