Increased Transparency for Migrant Flights: Mandatory Notification to Local Officials.
This law requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to notify Members of Congress and State Governors about every flight transporting migrants released from custody into their areas. The goal is to increase local awareness regarding the number, origin, and final destination of individuals arriving under federal parole programs. Citizens gain indirect access to detailed data on security screenings and federal costs associated with relocation.
Key points
State Governors and Members of Congress must be notified at least three days before a migrant flight lands in their jurisdiction.
Notifications must include detailed data: the number of adults, families, and children, country of origin, final destination, and security screening information.
The federal government must disclose the amounts and types of resources spent on the transportation and relocation of these individuals.
