Bill overview
This bill requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to identify and conduct ongoing reviews of Afghan evacuees who entered the United States between July 2021 and January 2022 as part of Operation Allies Refuge and Operation Allies Welcome. The goal is to ensure these individuals were properly vetted and to address issues identified by a Department of Homeland Security Inspector General report regarding insufficient data and potential gaps in the screening process. The bill mandates a comprehensive review, including database consultations, and requires ongoing monitoring of these evacuees’ status within the U.S., with reporting to various government agencies.
