What this bill would do

The "Immigrant Veterans Eligibility Tracking System Act" or "I-VETS Act" requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to identify aliens who are or were members of the U.S. Armed Forces. This check happens when an alien applies for an immigration benefit or is placed in an immigration enforcement proceeding. The Secretary must then annotate the alien's records to reflect their military service. This process is designed to track outcomes for these individuals. The bill also prohibits using this specific military service information to remove an alien from the United States.
