Summary of Bill S 3808

Bill 118 s 3808, also known as the No FAMS at the Border Act of 2024, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The bill aims to prohibit the deployment of Federal Air Marshals (FAMS) at the US-Mexico border.

The bill argues that the presence of FAMS at the border is unnecessary and potentially harmful. Supporters of the bill believe that FAMS should be focused on protecting commercial flights rather than being deployed to monitor the border. They argue that the resources currently used for border deployment could be better utilized in other areas where the threat level is higher.

Opponents of the bill, however, argue that FAMS play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and security of the border. They believe that removing FAMS from the border could leave it vulnerable to security threats and criminal activity. Overall, the No FAMS at the Border Act of 2024 is a contentious piece of legislation that raises important questions about the allocation of resources and the best way to ensure border security. It will be interesting to see how the debate unfolds in Congress and what the final outcome of the bill will be.
