Border Security: Prohibiting Parole for Known and Suspected Terrorists.

This law aims to strengthen national security by strictly prohibiting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from granting temporary entry (parole) to individuals identified as known terrorists, suspected terrorists, or those posing a national security risk. This change tightens border procedures, ensuring that the parole authority is not used for these dangerous groups. Furthermore, it grants state attorneys general the power to sue the federal government if these prohibitions are violated and cause harm to the state.
Key points
DHS is banned from granting temporary entry (parole) to known terrorists, suspected terrorists, and 'special interest aliens' (those potentially linked to terrorism).
The law establishes clear definitions for individuals considered security risks, based on arrests, charges, or intelligence analysis of travel patterns.
State Attorneys General gain the legal right to sue the Secretary of Homeland Security for violations of these parole prohibitions if the state or its residents suffer harm, including financial harm over $100.
