Where Are The Terrorists Now Act

This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (with input from the Justice Department and intelligence agencies) to submit detailed monthly reports to Congress for one year (then biannually) on individuals encountered at U.S. borders or ports of entry who are in the federal terrorist watchlist. The reports must include specifics like how many were encountered, their national origin, ties to terrorist groups, travel methods, detention status, and whether they were falsely flagged. It directly affects border enforcement agencies (CBP, ICE, USCIS) and individuals on the watchlist by mandating transparency about their encounters. The bill does not change watchlist procedures but requires regular, detailed public reporting on these encounters for congressional oversight.
