Transparency of Migration Act

HR 299, the Transparency of Migration Act, requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to publicly post weekly updates on their websites about individuals processed through immigration facilities. The law mandates posting specific data including daily counts, countries of origin, ages and genders, release states, and any criminal convictions of people apprehended by border agents or processed in HHS facilities. This applies to individuals who are unlawfully present in the U.S. and either detained in federal centers or released into the country. The bill focuses solely on making existing processing data transparent, without changing immigration policies or creating new procedures. It directly affects DHS and HHS by requiring them to disclose this information to the public.
