Migrant Flight Accountability Act of 2024

HR 8209, the Migrant Flight Accountability Act of 2024, requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to notify members of Congress and state governors at least three days before migrant flights land in their districts or states. The notification must include specific details about passengers: breakdowns by family status (single adults, families, unaccompanied children), individual demographics (age, sex, country of origin), flight origins, final destinations (including resettlement plans), security screening details, and federal spending on resettlement or transportation. This bill directly affects congressional members and state governors by providing advance data on migrant arrivals under the parole program. It defines a "migrant flight" as any DHS-tracked flight used to transport parole-eligible individuals to locations other than detention centers.
