The House has passed legislation to require the federal government to make public the number of illegal immigrants from “special interest” countries arrested at U.S. borders.

Lawmakers voted 231-182 Thursday afternoon to pass the Special Interest Alien Reporting Act of 2025, legislation that would force the Department of Homeland Security to be transparent with the public about immigrants who illegally enter the country. The effort is the latest by the GOP-controlled chamber to impose harsher immigration policies.
