What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Migrant Crime Reporting Act of 2026," authorizes grants to be awarded to States. These grants are intended to help States collect and analyze data from their law enforcement agencies. The specific data focuses on the number of migrants in the United States who have been charged with or convicted of a criminal offense. To be eligible, a State must request a grant and make its migrant crime report publicly available on a State-operated website. The Secretary of Homeland Security is responsible for awarding these grants.
