HR 275 United States House · 119th Congress

Special Interest Alien Reporting Act of 2025

HR 275 requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to publish monthly reports on individuals classified as "special interest aliens" who attempt unlawful entry into the U.S. These reports, due by the seventh day of each month, must include the total number, nationalities or countries of origin, geographic regions of encounters, and whether entries occurred at ports, between ports, or inland. The reports must also identify if encounters involve "covered nations" as defined under existing law. This bill directly affects DHS, which must implement the reporting, and Congress, which receives the data for oversight. The law focuses on transparency around national security-related immigration encounters without altering immigration policy.
