Immigration Transparency and Transit Notification Act 2022
This act requires federal authorities to notify state and local officials before placing or transporting individuals without lawful immigration status. It grants state authorities the power to object, potentially influencing where these individuals reside. The aim is to increase transparency and local government involvement in immigration processes.
Key points
Federal authorities must notify state and local officials at least 7 days before placing or transporting individuals without lawful immigration status.
Notifications must include detailed information such as name, date of birth, country of nationality, biometrics, background check results, and sponsor details.
State governors have 3 days to submit a written objection to a proposed placement or transport, which prevents the individual from being placed in that state, except for unaccompanied children joining family.
Federal authorities will regularly report to Congress on notifications, objections, and private entities/federal funds used for immigrant transport.
