Bill overview
The Asylum Accountability Act would permanently prevent non-U.S. citizens who fail to show up for a removal hearing and are subsequently ordered to leave the country from obtaining lawful permanent resident status. Currently, this restriction is in place for 10 years. The bill aims to strengthen accountability for those who avoid immigration court proceedings. It focuses on preventing individuals who skip removal hearings from being granted immigration relief.
