Rep. Van Epps introduced the bill in the House.
In committee, no House vote yet.
This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to regularly assess terrorism threats posed by foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists located in major non-NATO allied countries. Representative Van Epps introduced this legislation in the House of Representatives, where it has been referred to the Committee on Homeland Security. It must pass through this committee before it can be voted on by the full House.
Introduced Mar 30, 2026
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on March 30, 2026, and assigned to the Committee on Homeland Security. For it to become law, it must first be approved by this committee, then passed by the full House. After that, it would move to the Senate for their approval and finally to the President for signature.
If this bill becomes law, the Department of Homeland Security would be required to produce regular, classified assessments of terrorist threats originating from foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists in countries considered major non-NATO allies. These reports would specifically examine how these groups use artificial intelligence and other new technologies, and they would evaluate the US government's ability to prevent these individuals from entering the United States. This could lead to a more detailed understanding of global terror threats and influence how the US allocates resources to protect its borders and citizens.
Supporters Say
Supporters would likely argue it enhances national security by providing crucial, up-to-date intelligence on foreign terror threats.
Critics Say
The bill text does not provide arguments from critics.
The bill text itself does not include arguments from either supporters or critics. However, those in favor would likely emphasize the importance of understanding evolving threats, especially concerning advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, to protect the homeland. Potential concerns, if they arise, might involve the scope of intelligence gathering or resource allocation, but these are not specified in the bill.
