The federal government would be required to create and maintain a public database listing information about immigrants with criminal records who are released from custody, making this information available for anyone to access online. This would affect immigration enforcement agencies and potentially impact communities by providing transparency about criminal aliens in their areas. The proposal is currently under review by the House Judiciary Committee.
