Early Migration Alert Program: Local Governments Get Advance Notice of Releases

This bill establishes a mandatory alert system requiring the federal government to notify state and local authorities about the planned release of non-citizens into their jurisdictions. Local communities will receive advance data, including the number of individuals, their intended destinations, and how many have known criminal histories. This aims to improve local preparedness and public safety through formalized information sharing.
Key points
State, local, Tribal, and territorial governments must receive notification at least 24 hours before non-citizens are released into their area.
Notifications must include the number of individuals, their final intended settlement locations, and details on known criminal histories.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must establish the Early Migration Alert Program (EMAP) to manage this data sharing.
Information will be provided via a newly developed electronic mail notification system for verified government officials.
