Preventing the Abuse of Immigration Parole Act
Sponsored By: Representative McDowell, Addison P. [R-NC-6]
Introduced
Summary
Limits mass use of immigration parole and refocuses it on true emergencies or clear public benefit. This bill would narrow parole to case-by-case urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefits and add new limits and enforcement tools to stop broad, mass parole practices.
Show full summary
- Families and individual migrants: Would allow parole only for urgent humanitarian needs or significant public benefits. Parole would be temporary, would not count as admission, and individuals must be returned to custody or processed for admission after the parole purpose ends. The bill would cap parole grants at 3,000 per year starting in fiscal year 2029.
- Nationals of countries of concern: Would bar parole for nationals of designated countries unless the Secretary of State issues a waiver for that person.
- States and residents: Would give state attorneys general and other authorized state officers standing to sue the Secretary of Homeland Security for alleged parole misuse. Courts would be required to speed such cases and the standing definition includes financial harms over $100.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
States could sue over parole limits
State attorneys general would be able to sue DHS in federal court if they allege parole limits were violated. Courts would be required to move these cases faster when possible. A state or its residents would count as harmed if they lose more than $100.
Stricter limits on immigration parole
If enacted, DHS would use parole only case by case for urgent humanitarian reasons or a significant public benefit. Parole would not count as admission, and the person would return to custody when the reason ends. Starting in fiscal year 2029, DHS could grant no more than 3,000 of these paroles each year. Nationals of a “country of concern” could be paroled only if the Secretary of State grants a waiver.
