Bill overview
The Asylum Accountability Act would permanently prevent non-U.S. citizens who fail to appear in immigration court after being ordered removed from the country from obtaining legal permanent residency. Currently, this restriction is in place for 10 years. The bill aims to strengthen accountability for those who avoid immigration proceedings. It specifically targets discretionary relief options like cancellation of removal and adjustment of status.
