Artemis Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Ansari, Yassamin [D-AZ-3]

Introduced

Summary

Carve-out from expedited removal for people tied to State Department "countries of concern." This bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act’s expedited removal rules (8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)) to exclude aliens who are natives or citizens of, or would be removed to, a "country of concern," a term tied to State Department "countries of particular concern" or the International Religious Freedom Act special watch list.

Show full summary
  • People from or removable to designated countries would not be processed under the expedited removal rule in 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(A). They would instead go through the standard removal procedures that apply to other immigrants.
  • Immigration and border officials would have to treat individuals linked to these designated countries differently when deciding whether expedited removal applies. This changes who qualifies for the faster removal pathway.

Limits fast-track deportation for certain nationals

This bill would add an exception to fast-track deportation (expedited removal). It would cover people from a "country of concern." It would also cover you if you would be removed to one of those countries. A "country of concern" would mean a country the Secretary of State names as a "country of particular concern." It would also include any country on the special watch list under a 1998 religious freedom law. You could get a full removal hearing instead of quick deportation.
