The I-VETS Act requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to identify and annotate records of aliens serving or having served in the U.S.
The Immigrant Veterans Eligibility Tracking System Act, or I-VETS Act, mandates the Secretary of Homeland Security to identify aliens who are serving or have served in the U.S. Armed Forces when they apply for an immigration benefit or are placed in an immigration enforcement proceeding. The act requires the Secretary to annotate the immigration and naturalization records of the Department of Homeland Security to reflect this military service. Importantly, the information gathered under this act cannot be used for the purpose of removing an alien from the United States.
