Migration Control: States' Role and Enhanced Vetting for Non-Asylum Aliens

This new bill aims to increase state control over the placement of non-asylum aliens. It mandates notifying governors about plans to house or transfer aliens within their states and requires thorough biometric and biographic data checks against national and international law enforcement databases. Governors gain the final authority to approve or deny the placement of these individuals in their states.
Key points
State governors must be notified in advance about plans to house or transfer non-asylum aliens in their state.
Fingerprints and DNA of aliens must be cross-checked with criminal and counterterrorism databases.
Governors gain final authority to permit or prohibit the housing or transfer of aliens in their state.
Federal courts will not have jurisdiction to review governors' decisions under this act.
