  • Public Law No. 119-21 Section 100004

    (11)(A) during the 2-year period beginning on the date of enactment of this paragraph, the Secretary of Homeland Security determines that a significant public benefit will result from the parole of an alien for a sacred Tribal or religious ceremony, cultural exchange, or celebration, and-- (i) the Secretary conducts a preliminary criminal background check of the alien prior to the alien's arrival at a port of entry; (ii) the alien presents a written request to the Secretary to be paroled into the United States from a federally recognized Indian Tribe for which the United States holds land in trust at or near the Southwest border; (iii) the alien is enrolled in a cultural participant program operated by a federally recognized Indian Tribe for which the United States holds land in trust at or near the Southwest border; and (iv) the alien pays a fee, in lieu of the fee required under subsection (c), in the amount of $200.
