To amend the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to provide an exception to the parole fee for the parole of an alien for a sacred Tribal or religious ceremony, cultural exchange, or celebration, and for other purposes.

Parole for noncitizens at Tribal ceremonies

This bill would open a short-term parole option for some noncitizens tied to Tribal or religious ceremonies. It would run for two years after enactment. The Secretary of Homeland Security would grant parole only if they find a significant public benefit. This path is only for a sacred Tribal or religious ceremony, cultural exchange, or celebration. You would need a preliminary criminal background check before arriving at a port of entry. A federally recognized Tribe must send a written request. The U.S. must hold land in trust for that Tribe at or near the Southwest border. You must be enrolled in that Tribe's cultural participant program. You would pay a $200 fee instead of the usual parole fee. Decisions would be case-by-case and not guaranteed.
