Bill > S3592

This bill, known as the "Parole Relief Offering Troops Expedited Compassionate Treatment of Military Families Act" or "PROTECT Military Families Act," aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to allow certain relatives of current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces to be paroled into the United States. Parole is a discretionary authority that allows individuals to enter the U.S. temporarily for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. Specifically, the bill mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security must parole into the U.S. the spouse, widow or widower, parent, or child of a member of the Armed Forces on active duty, a member of the Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve, or an individual who previously served honorably in the Armed Forces, whether living or deceased. This parole would be granted in one-year increments. A denial of such parole would require a joint written justification from the Secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, and Veterans Affairs, and this justification, without personally identifiable information, would be published online.
