Why the model tagged it this way: The bill requires DHS/CBP to develop and implement a plan for identifying, integrating, and deploying new and emerging technologies specifically to enhance border security capabilities, authorizes CBP Innovation Teams for this purpose, and mandates coordination on research, procurement, scaling, and responsible use of such technologies including AI; this directly expands the scope of immigration enforcement tools and operations at the border.
