To amend title 1, United States Code, to expand the scope of documents the Secretary of State is required to transmit to the Congress, and for other purposes.
This bill modifies the Case-Zablocki Act to require the Secretary of State to report additional agreements with foreign nations to Congress. Specifically, it mandates that any deal allowing foreign countries to accept U.S. individuals facing removal orders must be disclosed, including oral agreements that are subsequently written down. The legislation also updates a reporting deadline, requiring the Comptroller General to submit audit reports within 30 days of completion rather than on a fixed date. These changes directly affect the State Department's transparency obligations regarding international cooperation on immigration enforcement.
