AI Summary

Updates how the federal government studies and responds to threats on the northern land border by requiring more frequent threat analyses and strategy updates, adding a required analysis of apprehensions, and requiring classified briefings to Congress. It also directs the Department of Homeland Security to establish performance measures for Air and Marine Operations within 180 days. The law explicitly does not authorize any new funding to carry out these requirements.
