WASHINGTON – A Republican senator wants DC to give states a heads-up before shipping migrants from the US-Mexico border to other jurisdictions.“Americans deserve to know who is being pushed into their communities at taxpayer’s expense,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) exclusively told The Post.The National Oversight of Transported Immigrants to Communities is Essential Act – or the “NOTICE Act,” which Marshall introduced Thursday – would force federal agencies to provide states with key information about migrants whom the government transfers to their locations.“The secretary of Homeland Security and the secretary of Health and Human Services shall notify the governor of a state and the chief executive officer of a unit of local government in such state of any alien that is being transported by … entit[ies] receiving federal funding for such transportation from a location within 100 miles of the United States border,” the legislation says.The required information – to be sent before any migrant leaves – includes a name, age, gender and country of origin, criminal record, and disclosure of whether the individual has been or is associated with a gang, according to a copy of the legislation obtained by The Post.Additionally, the agencies would have to disclose “the types of security screenings that have been performed” on the migrants, according to the bill.The legislation comes as New York, Washington, DC, and other liberal locations grapple with a surge of migrants as border states such as Texas bus new arrivals to their jurisdictions.“You’d think when you have Democrat governors in deep blue states like Illinois and New York complaining about the strain and cost the bussing of migrants has had on their states that this administration would start to show some willingness here in Washington to secure the border, but it hasn’t,” Marshall said.However, the notification requirement would only apply to migrants shipped by the federal government. No such information is required on new arrivals sent by states or by privately funded groups.“Joe Biden’s border crisis has made every single community across the country less safe,” Marshall said. “Nothing about the invasion at our southern border is compassionate, it’s certainly not safe, and absolutely unsustainable.”
