Deportation Disclosure Act

Summary

Requires the Department of Homeland Security to publish on its website the name of every person who receives a final order of removal after the law takes effect, and for each such person to also publish a photograph, any known aliases, and the person’s last known U.S. state of residence. It also makes a technical renumbering change to the immigration court statute. The change directs DHS to make this information public, which affects people subject to final removal orders, DHS operations that must collect and post the data, and groups concerned with privacy, safety, and accuracy. The mandate is straightforward but raises potential privacy, safety, and legal questions and will create an ongoing administrative requirement for DHS.

• DHS must publish on its website the name of every person issued a final order of removal after enactment.
• For each listed person, DHS must also publish a photograph, any aliases, and the person’s last known U.S. state of residence.
• Publication applies only to final removal orders issued after the law takes effect.
• The bill makes a technical renumbering change to the immigration court statute to add the new requirement.
• The law creates an ongoing administrative duty for DHS to collect, verify, and host this information.
• No funding source or appropriation is specified in the text; costs would fall to DHS unless funded elsewhere.
• The requirement raises privacy, safety, accuracy, and potential legal concerns for affected individuals and their communities.
