Bill overview
This bill would allow immigration officials to immediately expel inadmissible aliens attempting to enter the U.S. at the border between the U.S. and Mexico, without a hearing or review, for a two-year period. Expulsions would initially be directed to Mexico, but alternative countries, including the alien’s country of citizenship or birth, could be used if Mexico is unwilling or if expulsion would harm U.S. national interests. Certain exceptions apply, preventing expulsion to countries where an alien would face persecution or torture, unless the alien demonstrates a credible fear of harm. The bill also establishes a process for asylum officers to assess claims of threats and outlines a strategy for managing the potential impact of expulsions on border processing capacity.
