    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, neither Secretary of 
Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas nor any officer or official of 
the Office of the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security may 
use a Federal executive aircraft to fly for official work. Secretary 
Mayorkas and any other such officer or official shall fly commercial 
aircraft for official work until such time as--
            (1) Secretary Mayorkas submits to Congress a plan to--
                    (A) reduce to fiscal year 2020 numbers U.S. Customs 
                and Border Protection encounters and apprehensions of 
                aliens who have unlawfully crossed the border;
                    (B) place 90 percent of U.S. Border Patrol agents 
                deployed, as of the date of the enactment of this Act, 
                in the field in duties such as patrol, rather than 
                administrative duties such as transport, processing 
                duties, and hospital watch; and
                    (C) offer financial support and other resources 
                support for local communities and governments, in 
                consultation with stakeholders; and
            (2) the condition specified in paragraph (1)(A) has been 
        achieved.
