CLEAR Act of 2025

The CLEAR Act of 2025 aims to enhance cooperation between state/local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities by requiring states to provide information about apprehended aliens to federal officials and creating a database of immigration violators in the National Crime Information Center. The bill provides financial assistance to states that cooperate with immigration enforcement, increases federal detention space, and establishes training programs for law enforcement officers. It also creates legal immunity for officers following the law and expands a program to identify and remove criminal aliens from prisons. The bill directly affects state and local law enforcement agencies, federal immigration officials, and undocumented immigrants who are apprehended.
