Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) plans to introduce a bill that would require Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to improve border security and allow state attorneys general to sue his department if it fails to do so.

Tuberville’s office confirmed to The Epoch Times on March 8 that the lawmaker would be introducing the measure, called the Border Safety and Security Act.
