VA Healthcare Access for Deported Veterans: Temporary Entry Program.

This law establishes a specific pathway allowing certain non-citizen veterans who were previously removed or departed the US to temporarily return. The sole purpose of this temporary entry is to receive necessary healthcare services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This discretionary program is managed by the Department of Homeland Security and excludes individuals convicted of serious violent or national security crimes.
Key points
Creates a temporary entry mechanism (parole) for deported veterans to access VA healthcare services in the United States.
Eligibility is restricted; veterans convicted of serious crimes of violence or national security threats, who served 5+ years in prison, are excluded.
The temporary entry does not grant permanent legal admission or change the veteran's immigration status.
