Monthly Homeland Security reports on special interest aliens

If enacted, Homeland Security would post a monthly public report by the 7th of each month. Reports would start the first full month after enactment. The report would also be sent to House and Senate homeland security committees. It would show the number of special interest aliens encountered in the prior month. Counts would be broken out by region and where encounters happened: at land, air, or sea ports, between ports, or in the U.S. interior. It would list nationalities or countries of last habitual residence and flag any that are covered nations. The first report would also include data from Jan 20, 2021 through Jan 19, 2025. The bill defines who is counted, using existing law for alien, and says special interest means travel patterns that may pose a national security risk.
