S.344

Afghan evacuees from July 2021 to January 2022 must be identified and re-vetted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The bill requires the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to identify and conduct recurrent vetting of evacuees from Afghanistan who were not properly vetted before entering the United States. Specifically, the Commissioner must identify all evacuees from Afghanistan who were paroled into the United States between July 1, 2021, and January 31, 2022, and remain in the United States. For each evacuee, the Commissioner must conduct a full screening and vetting, including consulting all law enforcement and international terrorist screening databases.
