Produced ahead of the 2025 Border Technology Summit, this report examines how shifts in federal administration and evolving policy priorities have influenced U.S. border operations. Drawing on data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the report explores trends in border apprehensions, enforcement strategies, and the broader operational landscape shaping national security at America’s borders.
Through an analysis of executive directives, interagency coordination, and Department of Defense support, the report outlines how new policy directions have created both challenges and opportunities for those managing security and trade along the nation’s borders.
These insights remain highly relevant as we move toward the 2026 Summit, where government, military, and industry leaders will continue to discuss how evolving policy, technology, and strategy intersect to strengthen border management and national resilience.
