What this amendment would do

This amendment would add requirements for the Secretary of Homeland Security regarding the identification of certain individuals.

  • When an alien applies for an immigration benefit or is placed in an immigration enforcement proceeding, the Secretary of Homeland Security must determine if that person is serving or has served in a regular or reserve component of the United States Armed Forces on active duty, or in a reserve component in an active status.

  • For individuals identified as having such membership, the Secretary must annotate their immigration and naturalization records to reflect that membership and provide an opportunity to track outcomes for each person.

  • The information gathered through this process cannot be used for the purpose of removing an alien from the United States.
