Advanced Border Coordination Act of 2025

# Advanced Border Coordination Act of 2025 - Summary **What the bill does:** This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to create at least two coordination centers along the U.S.-Mexico border. These centers would serve as centralized hubs where different law enforcement agencies can work together and share information to coordinate border security operations. The centers would focus on detecting and responding to criminal activity, including drug trafficking and human smuggling operations, as well as monitoring illegal border crossings. **Who it affects:** The bill primarily affects federal border security agencies (like Customs and Border Protection), but also involves state, local, and Native American tribal law enforcement agencies that operate in border regions.

It could indirectly affect border communities and individuals involved in border crossing activities. **Current status:** The bill was introduced by Representative David Joyce (R-OH) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. The bill remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
