DHS Northern Border Mission Center: Enhancing Security and Coordination.

This bill establishes the Department of Homeland Security Northern Border Mission Center to centralize operations support, intelligence sharing, and training for federal, state, and international partners along the U.S.-Canada and U.S.-Russia (Alaska) borders. While not directly altering citizens' rights, the Center aims to enhance national security, improve border domain awareness, and test new technologies, potentially leading to more efficient border crossings and increased overall security. The Center is set to expire on October 1, 2027, and no additional funds are authorized for its implementation.
