Hagerty, Blackburn, Fleischmann Introduce Migrant Resettlement Transparency Act
Thursday, May 27, 2021
Senators Bill Hagerty (R-TN) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), along with Congressman Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN-03), have introduced the
Migrant Resettlement Transparency Act, which requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS) to consult in advance with state and local officials of impacted jurisdictions regarding federally administered or funded migrant resettlement. It will also require the Administration to submit to Congress and governors a monthly, state-specific report regarding the resettlement, transportation, or relocation of illegal aliens.
“Tennesseans have a right to know if the federal government is resettling migrants in their communities,” said Senator Hagerty.
