Bill information
Summary
A bill to provide Nicaraguan political prisoners who arrived in the United States on February 9, 2023, and their immediate family members with certain benefits available to refugees.
Plain-language summary
This bill would grant specific benefits to Nicaraguan political prisoners who arrived in the United States on February 9, 2023, and their immediate family members. These benefits are the same ones available to refugees—people who fled their home country due to persecution or violence. The bill targets individuals released from Nicaraguan prisons who came to America on that specific date. It is currently in the introduced stage, meaning it has been formally submitted to Congress but not yet assigned to a for review.
