The House has passed legislation to require the federal government to make public the number of illegal immigrants from “special interest” countries arrested at U.S. borders.
Lawmakers voted 231-182 Thursday afternoon to pass the Special Interest Alien Reporting Act of 2025, legislation that would force the Department of Homeland Security to be transparent with the public about immigrants who illegally enter the country. The effort is the latest by the GOP-controlled chamber to impose harsher immigration policies.
The bill, introduced in January by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), would require DHS-agency U.S. Customs and Border Protection to release statistics monthly on the number of illegal immigrants from certain countries that pose national security threats to the United States, as well as the area of the border where they were apprehended.
