Bill overview
The Southeast Asian Deportation Relief Act of 2026 aims to protect long-term residents of the United States who are citizens of Cambodia, Laos, or Vietnam and face deportation. It specifically prohibits the detention or removal of these individuals who arrived in the U.S. before 2008 and have continuously resided here. The bill also allows for the reconsideration and reopening of existing immigration cases for these individuals, ensuring they aren't penalized for past policies and offering pathways to employment authorization. Finally, it mandates notification to affected individuals and provides a mechanism for legal challenges if the Act is violated.
