Overview
- President Trump signed the Secure America Act provision on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, formally authorizing $108.5 million to expand federal victim‑identification work on child sexual‑abuse imagery.
- The law directs Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to hire 200 additional analysts and investigators, including 40 forensic analysts at the Victim Identification Laboratory and 30 child‑exploitation investigators plus authority for 130 more staff.
- The package also requires creation of a dedicated victim‑identification training program for federal, state and local law enforcement to improve how agencies analyze images and coordinate investigations.
- Advocates and Sen. Josh Hawley credited high‑profile testimony from Tim Tebow and cited large counts of unidentified image series and IP addresses as the spur for the measure, though those figures come from testimony rather than independent government audits.
- The signature moves the story from authorization to implementation because DHS/HSI must now recruit staff, stand up the lab positions and run the training program before changes affect investigations and victim rescues.
