Expanding CBP Authority: Domestic Response to Mass Violence and Shootings.
This act expands the authority of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to include deployment and assistance related to the response, threat mitigation, resolution, and investigation of certain violent acts, shootings, and mass killings. This change means that CBP resources, typically focused on borders, can now be formally deployed domestically to assist local authorities during major violent crises, increasing federal support during emergencies.
