Bill > HR1927

This bill, known as the "Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal Act of 2025" (CLEAR Act of 2025), aims to enhance immigration law enforcement by providing comprehensive support and guidelines for federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. The bill reaffirms states' inherent authority to investigate and apprehend undocumented immigrants, and encourages state and local law enforcement to assist in federal immigration enforcement. Key provisions include mandating the creation of an immigration violators database in the National Crime Information Center, requiring states and local jurisdictions to provide detailed information about apprehended aliens, and establishing financial incentives for localities that cooperate with federal immigration efforts. The bill also authorizes the construction of 20 new detention facilities, creates a comprehensive training program for state and local law enforcement on immigration enforcement, and establishes an Institutional Removal Program to identify and remove criminal aliens from correctional facilities. Additionally, the bill provides legal immunity for law enforcement agencies and officers acting within their official duties during immigration enforcement and ensures that states cooperating with federal immigration efforts will receive financial reimbursement for associated costs. The legislation seeks to create a more integrated and collaborative approach to immigration law enforcement across different levels of government.
