Public Description:
H.R. 2264, the Clear Law Enforcement for Criminal Alien Removal (CLEAR) Act of 2013, would reimburse local law enforcement agencies for the costs associated with incarcerating illegal aliens. The CLEAR Act also recognizes local law enforcement's authority to help enforce immigration law, improves information sharing between local law enforcement agencies and the federal government, and requires the federal government to expeditiously remove criminal illegal aliens.
