To require the Secretary of Homeland Security to publish the number of known or suspected terrorists encountered attempting to enter the United States on a monthly basis, and for other purposes.
HR 191 requires the Department of Homeland Security to publish monthly reports on the number of known or suspected terrorists encountered while attempting to enter the United States. The reports must include total numbers broken down by geographic region and entry method (land, air, or sea), and be posted on a public DHS website by the 15th of each month. This bill directly affects DHS operations and provides the public with transparency about border encounters involving individuals in the Terrorist Screening Database. It is a procedural requirement focused on data disclosure, not policy change.
