Summary

This bill requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection to submit annual reports on implementation of its strategic plan to counter illicit cross-border tunnel operations. Current law only requires a one-time report within one year of plan development. The recurring reporting ensures ongoing congressional oversight of CBPs tunnel detection and interdiction efforts along the U.S. border.
