REMOVE Act
Sponsored By: Representative Nehls
In Committee
Summary
15-day mandatory deadline for certain immigration removal proceedings. This bill would force the Attorney General to start removal cases promptly after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement serves a Notice to Appear and to ensure covered cases finish within 15 days, including for noncitizens convicted of deportable offenses.
Show full summary
- Migrants and asylum seekers served with a Notice to Appear would face immigration hearings that must be completed within 15 days, shortening the time to prepare and present claims.
- Noncitizens convicted of offenses that make them deportable would have removal proceedings begun quickly after conviction and be subject to the same 15-day completion requirement.
- The Attorney General must issue regulations, guidance, and other actions needed to meet the 15-day deadline, which would compel immigration courts and enforcement agencies to compress scheduling and procedures.

Faster deportation cases for some noncitizens
The government would have to start removal cases quickly after ICE serves and files a Notice to Appear. If someone is convicted of a deportable crime, the case would have to start as soon as possible after conviction. All covered immigration court cases would have to finish within 15 days of when they start. The Attorney General would issue rules and guidance to meet this deadline. The 15-day rule would override other timing rules, including asylum timelines.
