Rep. Langworthy Proposes Bill to Update Northern Border
House Republican Leadership Chairwoman Elise Stefanik joined Rep. Pete Stauber (R-MN) and Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY) in introducing the Northern Border Security and Staffing Reform Act, directing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to update the Northern Border Threat Analysis. This act aims to address staffing shortages at northern ports of entry where officer retirements and rising national security threats are significant concerns.
“I am honored to be the co-lead on this critical legislation to strengthen security along our Northern Border. With outdated threat assessments and a looming staffing crisis... urgent action is needed,” said Rep. Langworthy. The last Northern Border Threat Analysis was conducted in 2017, with no updates since 2018.
