Introduced
Summary
Expanded expedited removal authority. This bill would broaden who immigration officers can subject to expedited removal by applying admissibility grounds under Section 212 more broadly and removing certain exemptions and evidence requirements.
Show full summary
- Arriving noncitizens and people inspected at the border would face a wider set of grounds for expedited removal because the bill replaces narrow references to 212(a)(6)(C) and 212(a)(7) with Section 212 generally.
- People who relied on the statute's subparagraph (F) exemption would lose that specific protection because the bill strikes subparagraph (F) and redesignates the following paragraph.
- Individuals who could avoid expedited removal by showing continuous physical presence for 2 years would no longer have that safeguard, since the bill removes the 2‑year continuous presence requirement.
- Immigration officers could apply expedited removal in more situations, since the changes broaden the legal bases and remove some documentary showings previously required.

Broader expedited removal for noncitizens
If enacted, this bill would expand expedited removal for noncitizens at the border and ports of entry. Officers could use any inadmissibility ground to order quick removal, not just a few listed ones. It would repeal a listed exemption that kept some people out of expedited removal. It would also remove the two‑year continuous‑presence proof that could block expedited removal. These changes would take effect upon enactment.
