Bill > HR2090

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to enhance border security screening procedures by requiring U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to cross-reference individuals entering the United States against the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB). Specifically, the bill mandates that the CBP Commissioner must take and maintain custody of any alien (non-U.S. citizen) until their name has been checked against the TSDB and a conclusive result is received. The bill also expands the grounds for detaining an individual by adding a new condition that allows detention if a person is found to be on the terrorist screening database. The TSDB is a consolidated watchlist maintained by the U.S. government that contains identifying information about individuals suspected of potential terrorist connections. By requiring mandatory and comprehensive database checks before allowing entry, the bill aims to improve national security by preventing potential terrorists from entering the United States and ensuring thorough screening of all foreign nationals at the border.
