Bill > HR275

This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to publish a monthly report detailing the number of "special interest aliens" (individuals who potentially pose a national security risk, determined by analyzing their travel patterns) encountered while attempting to enter the United States. The report must be posted on a publicly available webpage and submitted to the House and Senate Homeland Security Committees by the seventh day of each month. Each monthly report must include the total number of such encounters, the nationalities or countries of last residence of these individuals, a breakdown of encounters by geographic regions, specifics about where the encounters occurred (such as land, air, or sea ports of entry, between ports of entry, or within the United States), and identification of encounters involving individuals from "covered nations" (a term defined in U.S. military code). Additionally, the first report must retroactively cover the period from January 20, 2021, through January 19, 2025. The bill uses the Immigration and Nationality Act's definition of "alien" and aims to provide transparency about potential national security risks related to immigration.
