The Border Safety and Security Act of 2025 aims to give the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority to suspend the entry of certain individuals, referred to as "covered aliens," at U.S. borders. The main goal is to enhance control over the borders and ensure that immigration laws are effectively enforced. Key provisions of the Act include two main authorities for the Secretary of Homeland Security. First, the Secretary can suspend the entry of covered aliens if it is deemed necessary for achieving operational control over the border.
