To require the Secretary of Homeland Security to publish the number of known or suspected terrorists encountered attempting to enter the United States on a monthly basis, and for other purposes.

Bill 117 hr 6473, also known as the "Terrorist Encounter Reporting Act," aims to increase transparency and accountability within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to publish the number of known or suspected terrorists encountered while attempting to enter the United States on a monthly basis.

The bill seeks to provide the public with regular updates on the number of individuals with ties to terrorism who have been identified by DHS at the border or other points of entry. By requiring this information to be made available on a monthly basis, the bill aims to ensure that the American people are kept informed about the ongoing efforts to prevent terrorists from entering the country.

In addition to the reporting requirements, the bill also includes provisions for the Secretary of Homeland Security to provide a detailed analysis of the data, including information on the countries of origin of the individuals encountered, the methods of entry they attempted to use, and any actions taken by DHS in response to these encounters. Overall, the "Terrorist Encounter Reporting Act" is designed to enhance national security by increasing transparency and accountability within DHS, while also providing the public with important information about the ongoing efforts to protect the United States from terrorist threats.
