Criminal Illegal Alien Report Act
Plain Language Summary
# Criminal Illegal Alien Report Act (HR 1714) Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to submit regular reports to Congress detailing information about immigrants who are in the country illegally and have been convicted of crimes. The reports would track statistics and data about criminal offenses committed by undocumented immigrants, providing lawmakers with information to inform immigration policy discussions. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects immigration enforcement agencies (like DHS and ICE) that would need to compile and report this data. Secondarily, it relates to undocumented immigrants convicted of crimes and to Congress, which would receive and use the reports. **Current Status** As of now, HR 1714 remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
The bill was introduced by Representative Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) in the 119th Congress. Committee review is typically where bills are debated, amended, or sometimes stalled before advancing further in the legislative process.
