Prohibits parole for certain dangerous aliens, including those suspected of terrorism or criminal activities.

The Safeguarding Americans From Extremist Risk (SAFER) at the Border Act aims to prohibit the Secretary of Homeland Security from granting parole to certain dangerous aliens. Specifically, it bars parole for refugees and aliens designated by the Department of State or Homeland Security as inadmissible for espionage, sabotage, criminal activities, or terrorist activities. It also defines "known terrorist" and "special interest alien" to include those arrested or convicted of terrorism-related crimes, listed on the FBI Terrorism Watchlist, or identified as a member of a terrorist organization.
