Special Interest Alien Reporting Act of 2025

Provisional: our plain-language summary, pending review.

In plain language: The Department of Homeland Security would be required to publish monthly public reports on noncitizens encountered by immigration officials who are flagged as potential national security risks due to their travel patterns. Each report must detail where these individuals were stopped—such as at official border checkpoints, between ports of entry, or inside the country—as well as their home countries, highlighting those from designated adversary nations like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The first monthly release would also provide retrospective encounter data covering the period from January 20, 2021, through January 19, 2025.
