US SB1589

Amends Section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to restrict parole authority, requiring case-by-case determinations and prohibiting class-based parole programs for entire categories of potential recipients.

Limits "urgent humanitarian reasons" for parole to specific circumstances including medical emergencies with no available treatment abroad, organ donation, imminent death or funeral of close family members, and adopted children with urgent medical conditions awaiting final adoption visas.

Restricts "significant public benefit" parole to aliens assisting U.S. law enforcement where their physical presence is required and normal visa processes are insufficient.

Caps parole duration at 1 year with one possible 1-year extension, prohibits employment authorization for most parolees except military family members and Cuban nationals under the 1994/1995 U.S.-Cuba migration agreements, and bars parolees from adjusting to lawful permanent resident status.

Creates a private right of action allowing any person, state, or local government experiencing financial harm exceeding $1,000 from federal failure to apply the Act to sue in federal court; takes effect 30 days after enactment with grandfathering for pre-2023 parolees.
