S.3571

Limits U.S. Border Patrol authority to border security duties and mandates reporting on interior operations.

The bill, titled the "Keeping Our Agents on the Line Act," aims to restrict U.S. Border Patrol personnel to their traditional border security duties. It prohibits these officers from operating beyond a 25-mile distance from the U.S. border unless authorized by the President or a state or local official in an emergency. The bill also mandates the Commissioner for U.S. Customs and Border Protection to report on the number of agents operating in the interior, their training, and the outcomes of their interactions with U.S. citizens and residents.
