USCIS must publish a searchable report twice each month about people found to have a credible or reasonable fear of persecution or torture. The report must also break the data down by detention setting, legal or administrative review authority, and reviewer job series.
(a) Within 30 days after December 20, 2019, and every half-month after that, the Director of USCIS must publish on a public website a downloadable, searchable, sortable report containing at least the previous 12 months of half-month data. It must show: (1) the number of aliens found to have a credible or reasonable fear of persecution, as defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(1)(B)(v), or torture, as defined in 8 C.F.R. § 208.30 as in effect January 1, 2018; and (2) the total cases USCIS received to decide those claims and the total cases closed. (b) The report must also separate the data for claims by aliens detained at an ICE family residential center, claims grouped by each legal or administrative authority under which they are reviewed, and the job series of the personnel reviewing them.
Not later than 30 days after December 20, 2019, and updated semimonthly thereafter, the Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services shall make available, on a publicly accessible website in a downloadable, searchable, and sortable format, a report containing not less than the previous twelve months of semimonthly data on—
the number of aliens determined to have a credible or reasonable fear of—
persecution, as defined in section 1225(b)(1)(B)(v) of this title; or
torture, as defined in section 208.30 of title 8, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on January 1, 2018);
the total number of cases received by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to adjudicate credible or reasonable fear claims, as described in paragraph (1), and the total number of cases closed.
Such report shall also disaggregate the data described in subsection (a) with respect to the following subsets—
claims submitted by aliens detained at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement family residential center;
claims submitted by aliens organized by each subdivision of legal or administrative authority under which claims are reviewed; and
the job series of the personnel reviewing the claims.
