Bill Summary
To prohibit funds from being used to implement the Migrant Protection Protocols announced by the Secretary of Homeland Security on December 20, 2018. This bill prohibits the use of funds to implement or enforce the Migrant Protection Protocols announced on December 20, 2018. (The protocol generally requires that aliens who are not clearly admissible arriving by land along the U.S.-Mexico border be returned to Mexico while their immigration proceedings are pending, rather than remain in the United States. The protocol applies to aliens seeking asylum but who have been assessed not to be more likely than not to face persecution or torture in Mexico.)
AI Summary
This bill, called the Asylum Seeker Protection Act, prohibits the use of funds to implement or enforce the Migrant Protection Protocols announced by the Department of Homeland Security on December 20, 2018. The Migrant Protection Protocols, also known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, generally require asylum seekers arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border to be returned to Mexico while their immigration proceedings are pending, rather than remain in the United States. The bill's findings express concerns that this policy limits asylum seekers' access to legal counsel and places them at risk in Mexico, and calls for Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
