Summary

Protect Communities from a Porous Border Act of 2021 This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to notify a state before placing an alien in that state and gives the state final authority to prohibit such a placement. At least 10 business days before placing (e.g., detaining or housing) such an individual in a state, DHS must provide certain information to that state, including (1) the individual's biographic and biometric information, including DNA; and (2) a certification that the biometric and biographic information has been checked in various law enforcement and counterterrorism databases. No federal court shall have jurisdiction to review (1) the requirements and procedures established under this bill, or (2) a decision by a state to prohibit the placement of such an individual in the state. The bill also prohibits any federal official from waiving any of the bill's requirements.

A vast majorityof FIRE's expenses incurred during the quarter are attributable to the staff hours that went into preparing FIRE's Comment to the Department of Education on its proposed regulations on the enforcement of Title IX, Docket No. ED-2021-OCR-0166, RIN 1870-AA16. FIRE's comment offered detailed objections to aspects of the proposalthat would violate free speech and due process rights. FIRE also had communications with congressional offices regarding the possibility of future legislation on campus free speech. Those conversations included discussion of the Restoring Academic Freedom on Campus Act (H.R. 8945) and improvements FIRE would like to see tothe bill. We also analyzed the Restoring Artistic Protection Act (RAP Act H.R. 5831), the SLAPP Protection Act of 2022, (H.R. 8864) and legislation on combatingIslamophobia (S. 3384/ H.R. 5565) in anticipation of potentially engaging on those bills. FIRE has not yet engaged any congressional offices on any of those bills. Finally, FIRE discussed the Banned Book Resolution (H. Res. 1392) with a congressional office.
