Bill overview
The Ending Catch and Release Act of 2023 aims to tighten rules for releasing individuals seeking asylum in the United States. Specifically, it restricts the Department of Homeland Security’s ability to release asylum seekers into the country while their cases are pending, potentially leading to more detentions. The bill also modifies the standard for determining whether an asylum seeker has a credible fear of persecution, requiring a higher likelihood of establishing eligibility for asylum. Furthermore, it expands the use of expedited removal for individuals lacking proper documentation or who have engaged in immigration fraud.
