Strengthening the Shadow Wolves Program: Enhanced Border Security and Officer Career Paths.

This Act aims to boost the effectiveness of the "Shadow Wolves" border security unit, which operates in coordination with Tribal governments, such as the Tohono O'odham Nation. It establishes clearer career paths for officers, allowing them to convert to permanent federal career appointments after three years of service. These changes are designed to improve border security through better recruitment and retention of experienced agents.
Key points
Shadow Wolves officers gain greater job stability by converting to permanent federal career appointments after 3 years of service.
Federal authorities must develop recruitment plans to increase agent numbers and explore expanding the program to additional tribal lands.
Enhanced coordination between ICE and Tribal governments is mandated to define the mission and goals of the border protection program.
