 To restore civil liberties under the First Amendment, the Immigration 
and Nationality Act, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and 
                          for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Civil Liberties Restoration Act of 
2004''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Fighting terrorism is a priority for our Nation.
            (2) As Federal, State, and local law enforcement work 
        tirelessly every day to prevent another terrorist attack, our 
        Nation must continue to work to ensure that law enforcement 
        have the legal tools and resources to do their job.
            (3) At the same time, steps that are taken to protect the 
        United States from terrorism should not undermine 
        constitutional rights and protections.
            (4) Some of the steps taken by the Administration since 
        September 11, 2001, however, have undermined constitutional 
        rights and protections.
            (5) Our nation must strive for both freedom and security.
            (6) This Act seeks to restore essential rights and 
        protections without compromising our Nation's safety.

        been admitted to the United States, including any alien found

        235(b)(1)(B) or any alien admitted or seeking admission under 
        the visa waiver program pursuant to section 217. Except as 
        provided in subsection (c) and pending such decision, the 
        Secretary of Homeland Security shall--
                    ``(A) make an individualized determination as to 
                whether the alien should be released pending 
                administrative and judicial review, to include a 
                determination of whether the alien poses a danger to 
                the safety of other persons or property and is likely 
                to appear for future scheduled proceedings; and
                    ``(B) grant the alien release pending

                at all future proceedings, unless the Secretary of 
                Homeland Security determines under subparagraph (A) 
                that the alien poses a danger to the safety of other 
                persons or property or is unlikely to appear for future 
                proceedings.
            ``(2) Individualized determinations.--An individualized 
        determination made by the Secretary of Homeland Security

        held before an immigration judge pursuant to section 240. An 
        immigration judge who reviews an initial bond determination by 
        the Secretary of Homeland Security, or who makes a bond 
        determination prior to a decision by the Secretary of Homeland 
        Security, shall apply the same standards set forth in 
        subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1).''.

made pursuant to subsection (a)(1)(B) may be revoked or modified only 
by an immigration judge in proceedings held pursuant to section 240, 
and only if the party seeking to revoke or modify the bond or parole 
determination can establish a change in circumstances. The 
administrative decision finding the alien removable does not, in and of 
itself, constitute a change in circumstances. At such a hearing, if 
changed circumstances are established, the immigration judge shall make 
a new individualized determination in the manner described in 
subsection (a).''.

        granted;

                  TITLE III--EFFECTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT

SEC. 301. TERMINATION OF THE NSEERS PROGRAM; ESTABLISHMENT OF 
              REASONABLE PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO REGISTER.

    (a) Termination of NSEERS.--
            (1) In general.--The National Security Entry-Exit 
        Registration System (NSEERS) program administered by the 
        Secretary of Homeland Security is hereby terminated.
            (2) Integrated entry and exit data system.--Nothing in this 
        section shall amend the Integrated Entry and Exit Data System 
        established in accordance with section 110 of the Illegal 
        Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (8 
        U.S.C. 1365a).
            (3) Administrative closure of removal proceedings.--
                    (A) In general.--All removal proceedings initiated 
                against any alien as a result of the NSEERS program 
                shall be administratively closed. This paragraph shall 
                apply to all aliens who were--
                            (i) placed in removal proceedings solely 
                        for failure to comply with the requirements of 
                        the NSEERS program; or
                            (ii) placed in removal proceedings while 
                        complying with the requirements of the NSEERS 
                        program and--
                                    (I) had a pending application 
                                before the Department of Labor or the 
                                Department of Homeland Security for 
                                which there is a visa available;
                                    (II) did not have a pending 
                                application before the Department of 
                                Labor or the Department of Homeland 
Security for which there is a visa available but were eligible for an 
immigration benefit; or
                                    (III) were eligible to apply for 
                                other forms of relief from removal.
                    (B) Exceptions.--This paragraph shall not apply in 
                cases in which the aliens are removable under--
                            (i) section 212(a)(3) of the Immigration

        imposed by law on motions to reopen removal proceedings, any 
        alien who received a final order of removal as a result of the

        such alien may be eligible to receive.

SEC. 302. EXERCISE OF PROSECUTORIAL DISCRETION.

    (a) Sense of Congress Regarding Prosecutorial Discretion.--
            (1) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                    (A) Exercising prosecutorial discretion is not an 
                invitation to violate or ignore the law, rather it is a 
                means by which the resources of the Secretary of 
                Homeland Security may be used to best accomplish the 
                mission of the Department of Homeland Security in 
                administering and enforcing the immigration laws of the 
                United States.
                    (B) Although a favorable exercise of discretion by 
                any office within the Department of Homeland Security 
                should be respected by other offices of such 
                Department, unless the facts and circumstances in a 
                specific case have changed, the exercise of 
                prosecutorial discretion does not grant lawful status 
                under the immigration laws, and there is no legally 
                enforceable right to the exercise of prosecutorial 
                discretion.
            (2) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
        the exercise of prosecutorial discretion does not lessen the 
        commitment of the Secretary of Homeland Security to enforce the 
        immigration laws to the best of the Secretary's ability.
    (b) Prosecutorial Discretion.--The Secretary of Homeland Security 
shall exercise prosecutorial discretion in deciding whether to exercise 
its enforcement powers against an alien. This discretion includes--
            (1) focusing investigative resources on particular offenses 
        or conduct;
            (2) deciding whom to stop, question, and arrest;
            (3) deciding whether to detain certain aliens who are in 
        custody;
            (4) settling or dismissing a removal proceeding;
            (5) granting deferred action or staying a final removal 
        order;
            (6) agreeing to voluntary departure, permitting withdrawal 
        of an application for admission, or taking other action in lieu 
        of removing an alien;
            (7) pursuing an appeal; or
            (8) executing a removal order.
    (c) Factors for Consideration.--The factors that shall be taken 
into account in deciding whether to exercise prosecutorial discretion 
favorably toward an alien include--
            (1) the immigration status of the alien;
            (2) the length of residence in the United States of the 
        alien;
            (3) the criminal history of the alien;
            (4) humanitarian concerns;
            (5) the immigration history of the alien;
            (6) the likelihood of ultimately removing the alien;
            (7) the likelihood of achieving the enforcement goal by 
        other means;
            (8) whether the alien is eligible or is likely to become 
        eligible for other relief;
            (9) the effect of such action on the future admissibility 
        of the alien;
            (10) current or past cooperation by the alien with law 
        enforcement authorities;
            (11) honorable service by the alien in the United States 
        military;
            (12) community attention; and
            (13) resources available to the Department of Homeland 
        Security.

SEC. 303. CIVIL PENALTIES FOR TECHNICAL VIOLATIONS OF REGISTRATION 
              REQUIREMENTS.

    (a) Registration Penalties.--Section 266(a) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1306(a)) is amended by striking ``Any alien''

        and
            ``(C) $1,000 for each subsequent violation of section 262 
        or 263 after the second violation.
    (b) Other Penalties.--Section 266(b) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1306(b)) is amended to read as follows:
    ``(b)(1) A penalty shall be imposed, in accordance with paragraph 
(2), on any alien or the parent or legal guardian in the United States 
of any alien who fails to submit written notice to the Secretary of 
Homeland Security as required by section 265. penalty shall be imposed 
with respect to a failure to submit such notice if the alien 
establishes that such failure was reasonably excusable or was 
not willful.
    ``(2) Except as provided in paragraphs (4) and (5), the Secretary 
of Homeland Security shall levy a civil monetary penalty of--
            ``(A) up to $100 against an alien who fails to submit 
        written notice in compliance with section 265;
            ``(B) up to $500 against an alien for a second violation of 
        section 265; and
            ``(C) up to $1,000 for each subsequent violation of section 
        265 after the second violation.
    ``(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, no change of 
immigration status shall result from failure to submit written notice 
as required by section 265.
    ``(4) During the transition period, a failure to comply with 
section 265 shall not result in a penalty or a change in immigration 
status. At the conclusion of the transition period, the Secretary of 
Homeland Security shall collect and maintain statistics concerning all 
enforcement actions related to this subsection.
    ``(5) The penalties imposed under this subsection shall not apply 
to an alien who previously failed to submit a change of address prior 
to the date of enactment of the Civil Liberties Restoration Act of 2004 
or the end of the transition period if the alien submits a change of 
address within 6 months after the end of the transition period. A 
penalty shall be imposed, in accordance with paragraph (2), on any 
alien who fails to submit a change of address within the 6-month period 
following the transition period.
    ``(6) In this subsection, the term `transition period' means the 
period beginning on the date of enactment of the Civil Liberties 
Restoration Act of 2004 and ending 1 year after the date of enactment 
of such Act, at which time the Secretary of Homeland Security shall 
implement a system to record and preserve on a timely basis addresses 
provided under section 265.''.
