PROTECT Military Families Act

This legislation amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish a mandatory parole program for specific relatives of U.S. service members. It requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to parole into the United States the spouse, widow or widower, parent, or child of individuals serving in the Armed Forces on active duty or the Selected Reserve, or those honorably discharged from such service. Parole under this act would be granted in 1-year increments. A significant provision dictates that an application for parole can only be denied if the Secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, and Veterans Affairs jointly issue a written justification for the denial. This responsibility is non-delegable, ensuring high-level oversight for any refusal, and any denial must be publicly disclosed on the Department of Homeland Security's website, providing transparency while protecting personal information.
