Terrorist Deportation Act: Streamlining removal of individuals from terrorist databases.
This act aims to facilitate the removal from the U.S. of individuals identified in government terrorist screening databases. This means such individuals will face significant barriers to entering the country and to applying for immigration status or protection. The act introduces faster deportation procedures for these individuals, with some exceptions for lawful permanent residents.
Key points
Individuals identified in terrorist screening databases will be inadmissible to the U.S., unless granted a special, difficult-to-obtain waiver.
Lawful permanent residents identified in such databases will not be automatically deportable, but their immigration status may be jeopardized.
The act restricts eligibility for asylum, withholding of removal, adjustment of status, or voluntary departure for individuals in terrorist screening databases.
It establishes expedited removal procedures for non-permanent residents identified in terrorist screening databases, with limited avenues for appeal.
