The bill would give US Customs and Border Protection more authority. Former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema previously introduced a version.

The agent killed was assigned to CBP’s Swanton Sector, which covers parts of Vermont, New York, and New Hampshire, a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesperson told CNN Monday evening.

A wide-ranging series of steps President Donald Trump has promised to beef up security at the southern border is beginning to take effect.

A U.S. Border Patrol agent was fatally shot near the Canadian border in Vermont on Monday afternoon, federal officials said. The agent was identified as David Maland, 44, according to a post shared by the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association on X, USA Today reports.

NH state troopers ticketed just 27 drivers for traveling at 100 mph or more in 2016. In 2024, that number more than quadrupled.

"It's pretty noticeable that the speeds have increased quite a bit," the bill's sponsor said. "You know, we get to the point here where it's time to maybe make some changes."

A proposed law would turn the state’s major highways into “enhanced enforcement zones” where existing speeding penalties would increase by 50% for any driver traveling more than 15 miles per hour over the posted speed limit. The law would include all five interstates, State Route 101 and the F.E. Everett and Spaulding turnpikes.

Some schools have told staff to contact the superintendent if ICE or other law enforcement officials arrive with a judicial warrant. Legal experts say it's important to understand the difference between that kind of warrant and other documents that don't require the same compliance.
