Deportation Compliance Act

Sponsored By: Representative Roy, Chip [R-TX-21]

Introduced

Summary

Ties U.S. foreign aid to countries' cooperation on deportations. This bill would prohibit federal foreign assistance to any country that the Secretary of State has acted against under section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and that, after 180 days, still denies or unreasonably delays accepting the nationals described in that section.

Show full summary
  • Countries that continue to deny or delay accepting their nationals would lose all federal foreign assistance funds once the Secretary of State has invoked section 243(d) and 180 days have passed.
  • The bill makes the Secretary of State's use of the visa-denial authority in section 243(d) the statutory trigger for withholding aid, tying visa-denial actions directly to foreign assistance eligibility.
  • The text sets no carve-outs or enforcement details in the provision, and it applies broadly to all federal foreign assistance funds.

Freeze foreign aid to countries refusing their nationals

This bill would stop U.S. foreign aid to a country that will not take back its own nationals the U.S. is trying to remove. The cutoff would apply only after the Secretary of State uses section 243(d) to halt visas for that country for 180 days. If, after 180 days, the country still denies or unreasonably delays accepting those nationals, all federal foreign assistance to that country would be blocked. The text lists no exceptions and no end date. This mainly affects foreign governments and aid programs, with only indirect effects on U.S. households.
