Nicaragua Political Prisoner Support Act

This bill provides specific benefits to Nicaraguans who were released as political prisoners and arrived in the U.S. on February 9, 2023, under a 2-year humanitarian parole program, including their immediate family members. Eligible individuals receive resettlement assistance, child welfare services, and driver's licenses under the same terms as refugees admitted under immigration law, after passing background checks and maintaining valid parole status. The bill explicitly states it does not grant lawful permanent residency or block individuals from seeking other eligible immigration benefits.
