Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to parole into the United States certain relatives of current and former members of the Armed Forces, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, also known as the PROTECT Military Families Act, aims to streamline the process for certain relatives of current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces to enter the United States through parole, which is a temporary authorization to enter the country for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. Specifically, it mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security must parole into the U.S. the spouse, widow or widower, parent, or child of a service member on active duty, in the Selected Reserve (a part-time reserve component of the military), or who previously served honorably and was discharged under honorable conditions. This parole would be granted in one-year increments, and a denial would require a joint written justification from the Secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, and Veterans Affairs, with the denial and its detailed reasoning, excluding personal information, published online.
