Terrorist Deportation Act: New Rules for Individuals in Terrorist Databases
This act amends immigration law to facilitate the removal of individuals identified in the terrorist screening database. It means that individuals deemed a terrorist threat will face significantly greater difficulty entering the U.S. and obtaining asylum or other immigration benefits, aiming to enhance national security.
Key points
Individuals in the terrorist screening database will be inadmissible to the U.S. unless granted a special, unanimous waiver from top security officials.
Individuals in the terrorist screening database will be ineligible for asylum, withholding of removal, cancellation of removal, or other forms of immigration relief.
The act establishes expedited removal procedures for non-permanent residents identified in the terrorist screening database, with limited appeal options.
The changes apply to all individuals identified in the terrorist screening database from the act's effective date, regardless of when they were added.
