Bill overview
This bill, the Deferred Removal for Iraqi Nationals Including Minorities Act of 2021, provides a 24-month deferral of removal for Iraqi nationals who have been ordered to return to Iraq and resided in the United States through January 1, 2016. The legislation is based on concerns about deteriorating conditions in Iraq, including human rights abuses and security risks, and recognizes that removal orders from years ago may no longer accurately reflect the current situation. It aims to allow Iraqi nationals time to seek immigration relief while acknowledging the dangers they face if returned to Iraq.
