HR 3725 United States House · 119th Congress

Preventing the Abuse of Immigration Parole Act

This bill would reform immigration parole by requiring the Secretary of Homeland Security to grant temporary entry only on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian needs or significant public benefit, reversing what the bill describes as systemic overuse. It imposes a strict annual cap of 3,000 paroles starting in fiscal year 2029, restricts parole for nationals of designated "countries of concern" without a State Department waiver, and allows states to sue if they claim financial harm exceeding $100 from parole decisions. The bill directly affects immigrants seeking temporary entry and DHS officials administering the program. Key mechanisms include the new cap, country restrictions, and state lawsuit provisions to enforce compliance.
