Bill overview
This bill, the Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act, would require the Department of Homeland Security to immediately begin deportation proceedings for foreign nationals whose visas are revoked due to security concerns. It modifies existing immigration law to remove the Secretary’s discretion in initiating these proceedings and mandates that the Secretary of Homeland Security, rather than the Attorney General, be responsible. The bill specifically targets visa revocations based on grounds for deportation outlined in section 237(a)(4). It also limits judicial review of these immediate removal proceedings.
