This bill requires U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to publish regular, public reports about its work. Starting 30 days after it becomes law, and then every quarter, ICE must post numbers on arrests, people held in Department of Homeland Security custody, and deportations from the previous quarter. The reports must also show what share of these people had criminal convictions and how many fall into ICE “Threat Level” categories 1, 2, or 3, or are not in any category. These reports must be posted on ICE’s website for the public to see.

Key points

• Who is affected: ICE and the public, who will get easier access to this information online.
• What changes: ICE must report totals for arrests, detainees, and deportations, plus the percentages with criminal convictions and by threat level (1, 2, 3, or none).
• When: First report due 30 days after the bill becomes law, then every quarter after that.
