Border Security: Banning Parole for Terror Suspects and Refugees.

This bill tightens border security by prohibiting the Department of Homeland Security from granting temporary entry (parole) to individuals identified as known or suspected terrorists, or those posing a national security risk. It also explicitly bans the use of parole for refugees. The legislation aims to ensure that individuals deemed dangerous cannot easily enter the country, and it grants states the power to enforce these restrictions through lawsuits.
Key points
Strictly prohibits the use of temporary entry (parole) for individuals designated as known terrorists, suspected terrorists, or "special interest aliens" (potential national security risks).
Amends immigration law to explicitly forbid the Secretary of Homeland Security from granting parole to refugees.
Grants State Attorneys General the right to sue the federal government if these parole prohibitions are violated and cause harm to the state or its residents (including financial harm over $100).
