Bill overview
The Eritrean Nationals’ Safety from Unjust Removal or Expulsion Act (ENSURE Act) provides a 24-month deferral of removal for certain Eritrean nationals living in the United States who have received removal orders. To qualify, individuals must have been ordered removed before the bill’s enactment and have continuously resided in the U.S. since then. The bill aims to protect these individuals from potential persecution or death if returned to Eritrea, considering the country’s human rights situation and the government’s reluctance to issue travel documents. It also includes provisions for employment authorization and prohibits detention based on immigration status or motions to reopen proceedings.
