A provision of the National Defense Authorization Act would mandate that defense officials brief Congress quarterly on the situation troops are facing at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Sen. James Inhofe , the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said this mandate was included in the must-pass legislation that funds the Department of Defense in order to bring increased attention to the issue.“Many of my Republican colleagues and I believe that this lax approach to border security must end — now.
The NDAA specifically calls for the assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense or another assistant secretary to provide an unclassified briefing, with a classified component, to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees every 90 days. The Border Patrol encountered more than 230,000 immigrants in October, which is roughly 66,000 more than the previous year.
Title 42, a Trump-era policy expected to expire later this month, allows the United States to release immigrants, typically from Mexico and Central American countries, usually within 24 to 48 hours after screening. With the order ending on Dec. 20, the Border Patrol will not be able to return people across the border immediately and will arrest each illegal immigrant and detain them.
In July of this year, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved a request from Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asking for up to 2,500 troops to help U.S. Customs and Border Protection starting Oct. 1 through September 2023. National Guardsmen from Republican- and Democratic-led states are among the troops who are headed south.
