Bill > HR4234

This bill, known as the Safeguarding Americans From Extremist Risk (SAFER) at the Border Act, aims to restrict the Secretary of Homeland Security's ability to grant parole to certain aliens deemed potentially dangerous. The bill introduces new definitions for terms like "known terrorist," "special interest alien," and "suspected terrorist," which include individuals who have been arrested, charged, or identified as connected to terrorist activities, or who potentially pose a national security risk based on their travel patterns. Specifically, the bill prohibits the Secretary of Homeland Security from paroling (temporarily allowing entry into the United States) any alien who is a refugee or who has been designated by government officials as potentially threatening to national security. This includes individuals on terrorist watchlists, those with criminal or terrorist connections, or those who might pose a risk to the United States based on their travel history or potential links to terrorist organizations. The bill emphasizes that any parole granted must be on a case-by-case basis, for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit, and does not constitute admission to the United States. When the purpose of the parole is served, the alien must immediately return to their previous custody, and their case will continue to be processed like any other immigration application.
