To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish a publicly available database that includes information regarding aliens without lawful status in the United States who have been convicted of felonies.
The Illegal Offender Registry Act would require the Department of Homeland Security to create and maintain a publicly searchable database of immigrants without legal status who have been convicted of felonies in the United States. The database would include the person's name, the location where they reside, and details about their felony conviction. The department would have 180 days after the bill's enactment to establish the online registry on the DHS website. This legislation would affect unauthorized immigrants with felony convictions currently in the country and would be accessible to the general public. The bill does not specify funding amounts or ongoing costs for creating and maintaining the database.
