01 · The brief
Plain-English summaryWhat this bill actually does

This bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to deliver, within 60 days of enactment, a report to Congress on people present in the United States under parole granted pursuant to the "Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans" or any other parole under INA 212(d)(5). The report must list the number of those parolees who have committed crimes in the United States, include their nationalities, and identify any ties to terrorists or transnational criminal organizations.
