Extension and Codification of US Border Expulsion Policy Until 2025
This bill aims to extend and codify a policy that allows for the rapid expulsion of individuals attempting to cross US land borders illegally, bypassing standard immigration procedures. This means that until February 2025, most individuals without proper travel documents attempting to enter the US via land borders with Canada or Mexico will continue to be turned away. The policy does not apply to US citizens, lawful permanent residents, military personnel, or individuals with valid travel documents entering through designated ports of entry.
