On Monday, Congressman Keith Self introduced a bill to relocate the Headquarters of the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency to Texas.
Currently, the CBP Headquarters is located in Washington, D.C., approximately 2,000 miles away from the southern border of the United States. Moving the headquarters will decentralize Washington bureaucracy, reduce costs to operate the CBP, and bring the law enforcement agency closer to the frontline of the crisis.
“For four years, the Biden administration opened our southern border to over 10 million illegal aliens, including murderers, gang members, and suspected terrorists—forcing Texas to be their gateway,” said Congressman Keith Self. “Americans overwhelmingly responded to this crisis on November 5th , 2024, with a clear mandate. This mandate begins with fixing our broken border. Under President Trump, CBP will immediately begin to seal our border and halt the flood of illegal aliens. Moving our CBP HQ to Texas is a practical step that will allow America’s Border Patrol agents to be on the ground at the critical point of the crisis.”
