Immediate Expulsion Authority for Inadmissible Aliens at US-Mexico Border (2 Years)
This bill establishes a temporary, two-year process allowing border officials to immediately expel individuals attempting to enter the US illegally or fraudulently at the US-Mexico border, bypassing standard hearings. These individuals will be detained pending expulsion, primarily to Mexico. Crucially, the law maintains protections for those who express a fear of persecution or torture, unless they pose a national security threat.
