Migrant Crime Reporting Act of 2026

This bill, titled the Migrant Crime Reporting Act of 2026, would provide $1 million in annual grants to each U.S. state to collect and analyze data on migrants who have been charged or convicted of criminal offenses. The funding is intended for states that request the grants and have previously submitted similar reports, allowing them to gather information from local law enforcement agencies across counties and other jurisdictions. States receiving the funds would be required to publish the resulting data on their official websites and submit reports to the Department of Homeland Security. The legislation defines migrants as individuals unable to present valid documents such as permanent resident cards, birth certificates, passports, or naturalization certificates.
