Protecting Asylum Integrity Act

This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to charge a fee of at least $100 for each credible fear interview, which is the first screening step for people in expedited removal who seek asylum or other protection. The fee would have to be collected before the interview takes place. Starting in fiscal year 2027, the fee amount would be adjusted each year for inflation. Half of the money collected would go to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for processing and operations, and the other half would go to the general fund of the Treasury.
