Immigration Parole Reform Act of 2023

Bill 118 HR 2453, also known as the Immigration Parole Reform Act of 2023, aims to reform the process of granting parole to immigrants in the United States. The bill seeks to address issues related to the current parole system, which has been criticized for being inconsistent and lacking transparency.

Under the proposed legislation, the Department of Homeland Security would be required to establish clear guidelines for granting parole to immigrants. These guidelines would include criteria for determining eligibility for parole, as well as procedures for reviewing and adjudicating parole requests.

Additionally, the bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to provide regular reports to Congress on the number of parole requests received, approved, and denied. This increased transparency is intended to ensure accountability and oversight of the parole process. Furthermore, the bill includes provisions to streamline the parole process for certain categories of immigrants, such as victims of human trafficking or domestic violence. These individuals would be eligible for expedited parole consideration under the proposed legislation. Overall, the Immigration Parole Reform Act of 2023 seeks to improve the parole system for immigrants in the United States by establishing clear guidelines, increasing transparency, and providing expedited consideration for vulnerable populations.
