Permanent Trump Secure Border Act
To secure the borders of the United States, and for other purposes.
HB9199, also known as the Permanent Trump Secure Border Act, was introduced to enhance border security in the United States. This bill aims to strengthen measures to control the flow of people and goods across U.S. borders, focusing on preventing illegal immigration and smuggling. The primary sponsor, Chip Roy, and several co-sponsors, all Republicans, hope to ensure the safety and integrity of the nation's borders.
The bill would primarily affect individuals and entities involved in border activities, including law enforcement agencies, customs officers, and anyone crossing the border. It could lead to stricter enforcement, additional surveillance, and more resources allocated to border security. This could mean longer wait times at borders, increased scrutiny of travelers, and enhanced penalties for illegal crossings.
As of June 8, 2026, HB9199 was introduced in the House and referred to multiple committees, including the Committee on the Judiciary and others focused on Homeland Security, Ways and Means, and Foreign Affairs. Further actions include referrals to specific subcommittees for detailed examination and potential amendments. The bill is in the early stages of the legislative process, and its future steps will depend on committee reviews and possible hearings.
