The Secretary of Homeland Security shall identify immigration cases involving special veterans by— inquiring of every alien processed prior to initiating removal proceedings whether the alien is a special veteran; and keeping records of special veterans who have been detained under the immigration laws, had removal proceedings against them initiated before the date of the enactment of this Act, or been removed before such date. When the Secretary has identified a case under subsection (a), the Secretary shall annotate all immigration and naturalization records of the Department of Homeland Security relating to the special veteran involved so as to reflect that identification and afford an opportunity to track the outcomes for the veteran.
Such annotation shall include— the veteran’s branch of military service; whether or not the veteran served during a period of military hostilities described in section 329 of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1440 ); and the veteran’s immigration status at the time of enlistment.
