Worst of the Worst Act
To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to create and maintain a publicly accessible database that contains information about each criminal alien who is released from custody, and for other purposes.
HB9361, also known as the Worst of the Worst Act, aims to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish and manage a public database that includes details on every criminal alien who is released from custody. This would involve making information about these individuals readily available to the public, presumably to enhance transparency and public safety.
This bill would mainly affect law enforcement agencies, the Department of Homeland Security, and the general public by providing a clear, accessible source of information on released criminal aliens. This could potentially influence how communities perceive and respond to the presence of these individuals.
HB9361 was introduced on June 18, 2026, and was immediately referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for further review. As of now, the bill is in its initial stage of the legislative process, and no further actions have been taken. The primary sponsor of this bill is Representative Ralph Norman, a Republican.
