Contact Congress about H.R. 275: Special Interest Alien Reporting Act of 2025

DHS would have to publish monthly numbers on certain noncitizens it sees as possible security risks. The reports would show where they were found, how they entered or were encountered, and what nationality or country of residence they had.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Special Interest Alien Reporting Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Latest action on H.R. 275: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects DHS, Congress, and people who follow border security data. DHS would have to collect, organize, publish, and send the monthly reports. Lawmakers and the public would get more regular information about this group of noncitizens. Noncitizens in this category could be counted in public reports by nationality or last usual country of residence, but the bill does not create new penalties or enforcement powers.

Why this matters: The bill matters because it would put more border security data in public view every month. Today, this kind of information may be handled inside DHS or shared through briefings. The bill would make DHS publish regular numbers for one group it sees as a possible security concern. That could shape public debate and future policy choices, but the bill does not prove that the reports would improve security.

Key provisions in H.R. 275

  • DHS must publish a public report each month on how many “special interest aliens” it encountered in the prior month.
  • Each report must list their nationality or their last usual country of residence.
  • DHS must show the region where each encounter happened.
  • Each report must say where the encounter happened. This includes land, air, or sea ports of entry, places between ports, and locations inside the United States.
  • Each report must show which listed countries or nationalities count as “covered nations” under current federal law.
