Bill > HR5904

This bill amends the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to create a special two-year exception to standard parole fees for certain Native American tribal-related visitors. Specifically, the bill allows the Secretary of Homeland Security to parole an alien into the United States for sacred Tribal or religious ceremonies, cultural exchanges, or celebrations, subject to several conditions: the Secretary must determine there is a significant public benefit, conduct a preliminary criminal background check before the alien's arrival, receive a written request from a federally recognized Indian Tribe with land near the Southwest border, confirm the alien is enrolled in a tribal cultural participant program, and require the alien to pay a reduced $200 fee (instead of the standard parole fee). This provision is designed to facilitate cultural and religious exchanges for Native American tribes, with a focus on tribes located near the Southwest border, and provides a temporary pathway for such visits with enhanced screening and a lower financial barrier.
