It grants them work authorization and the ability to reopen their removal cases, aiming to stabilize their lives in the United States. The act seeks to prevent family separations and ensure security for individuals who have built their lives in the U.S. for decades.
Key points
Vietnamese individuals who entered the U.S. on or before July 12, 1995, and have continuously resided here, cannot be deported, unless they pose a national security threat or are subject to extradition.

All individuals affected by the act will be notified of the new provisions and their right to reopen their removal proceedings.
The act allows for legal action in court if its provisions are violated.
