Lets Shadow Wolves officers get career appointments and improves their border security program.

This bill would make changes to the Shadow Wolves Program, a border security unit within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It would give officers clearer paths to career jobs and require the agency to set specific goals, staffing levels, and expansion plans for the program. This aims to make the program more effective in its mission.

What Would Change

Today, the Shadow Wolves Program operates with officers in different employment categories, and its strategy needs updating. This bill would require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to clearly define the program's mission, staffing, and expansion plans. It would also allow experienced Shadow Wolves officers to move into more permanent career jobs after three years of service.
