Immigration Parole Reform Act of 2023

Summary

Immigration Parole Reform Act of 202 3 This bill limits the authority of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to grant immigration parole (i.e., give official permission for an individual to enter and temporarily remain in the United States). Specifically, the bill (1) limits what qualifies as an urgent humanitarian reason or a significant public benefit that would justify granting parole, and (2) prohibits granting parole based on an individual's membership in a defined class of individuals.

Individuals granted parole on the basis of an urgent humanitarian reason or a significant public benefit are not permitted to work while in the United States. Additionally, the bill provides statutory authority for DHS to grant parole to (1) certain Cuban nationals, (2) certain family members of active-duty Armed Forces members, and (3) certain removed individuals for the purpose of attending their immigration hearing.
