Latest action on S. 3142: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects noncitizens who serve or have served in the U.S. military and who seek an immigration benefit or face enforcement. Their service would be marked in their records, but the bill would not give them new legal status or protection from deportation. It also affects Department of Homeland Security workers, who would have to check, mark, and track these cases.
Why this matters: Military service may be missed or recorded in different ways during immigration cases. This bill would create one way to flag that service and track the result of each case. The data could help officials see how noncitizen service members and veterans move through the immigration system. Still, the bill would not change anyone's right to a benefit or protection from deportation.
