What this bill does
The CHECKPOINT Act, introduced in the Senate, aims to enhance border security by improving how the U.S. Border Patrol manages its checkpoints. It proposes establishing a Checkpoint Program Management Office (CPMO) within the U.S. Border Patrol to oversee checkpoint operations nationwide. This office would be managed by an Assistant Chief and would be responsible for setting policies, ensuring data quality, and conducting regular reviews of staffing, resources, and operations, including covert testing.
The bill would affect U.S. Border Patrol agents and employees working at or near checkpoints, as well as the operations of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. It requires the CPMO to coordinate with various Customs and Border Protection offices and establishes designated points of contact in each Border Patrol sector with checkpoints to facilitate communication and policy updates. The bill also mandates the collection of specific data related to checkpoint activities, such as apprehensions, seizures, technology used, and attempted circumventions.
Currently, S. 2065 has been introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. The next step in the legislative process would be for the committee to review the bill, potentially hold hearings, and then decide whether to report it to the full Senate for a vote. If passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives, it would then go to the President for signature into law. This act would remain in effect for five years after enactment, after which it would expire.
