Introduced: Feb 27, 2025

Standard Summary

Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This bill, titled the Criminal Illegal Alien Report Act, would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to deliver a report to Congress within 60 days of enactment. The report must cover how many individuals who are in the United States under parole granted under the Immigration and Nationality Act (specifically under the processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, or any other parole granted under INA 212(d)(5)) have committed crimes in the United States. It must also include the nationalities of those individuals and any ties those individuals may have to terrorists or transnational criminal groups. The bill creates an accountability and oversight mechanism by forcing DHS to quantify and disclose criminal activity and potential security concerns among parolees under these programs.

4The report must include the nationalities of those individuals.
5The report must disclose any ties of those individuals to terrorists and transnational criminal groups.
