What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Identifying Potential Terrorist at the Border Act of 2025," aims to amend section 236A of the Immigration and Nationality Act. It specifically addresses the requirement to cross-reference individuals with the terrorist screening database. Under this act, the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection would be required to cross-reference an alien's name against said database. The Commissioner must maintain custody of the alien until a result from this cross-reference is received.
