Illegal Alien NICS Alert Act

HR 28, the Illegal Alien NICS Alert Act, requires the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to automatically notify ICE and state/local law enforcement whenever someone illegally in the U.S. attempts to purchase a firearm. This applies directly to undocumented immigrants or others unlawfully present who try to buy guns, as detected by NICS data. The bill amends the Brady Act to mandate that NICS send these alerts with all relevant information to ICE and local agencies, referencing the existing law (18 U.S.C. §922(g)(5)) that prohibits firearm sales to people unlawfully in the U.S. The change creates a specific notification process without altering gun purchase eligibility rules.
