Integrity in Border and Immigration Enforcement Act

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to administer a polygraph examination to all applicants for law enforcement positions with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). DHS may not hire those who do not pass the polygraph test.

As part of background reinvestigations, DHS shall administer a polygraph examination to ICE and CBP agents who are at risk of corruption or misconduct. Additionally, DHS must randomly administer a polygraph examination each year to at least 5% of CBP and ICE agents who are undergoing background reinvestigations.
