President Joe Biden signed a new law that requires more congressional scrutiny and oversight over federal border security contracts in an effort to cut costs and improve goods and services for Border Patrol agents.
The DHS Border Services Contract Review Act was passed by the Senate earlier this month and signed into law by Biden on Dec. 23.
It will prompt contracts that exceed $50 million to undergo congressional scrutiny, and require the DHS Under Secretary for Management to deliver a report assessing contracts for services performed along the U.S.-Mexico border.
