This bill, called the Subterranean Border Defense Act, would require U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to file a report every year on how it is carrying out its plan to find and stop illegal cross‑border tunnels. Right now, CBP only has to report once, within a year of creating the plan. This change makes the reporting ongoing so progress is tracked regularly .
