Bill overview
The Hmong and Lao Refugee Deportation Prohibition Act of 2020 aims to prevent the deportation of individuals from the Hmong and Lao communities to Laos for a period of 72 months. It applies to individuals born in Laos or its former French colony, who were previously ordered for removal, and who resided in the U.S. before January 2011. The bill also provides for employment authorization and requires the government to notify affected individuals about their rights to seek reopening of their removal cases. Ultimately, it seeks to protect these communities from potential harm and ensure they can continue to contribute to the United States.
