CBP Relocation Act

This bill would move U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s headquarters from its current location to Texas. The move must happen by January 1, 2026, and includes the headquarters’ staff, offices, and equipment. The site in Texas must be placed so it can better handle emergencies at the U.S.–Mexico border. A summary of the bill confirms this deadline and move of all headquarters functions to Texas.

To carry this out, the Department of Homeland Security can work with Texas officials to secure land, and it may buy land if needed. Any land deal must meet federal title standards set by the Attorney General.
