Bill Summary

A BILL To amend section 235(b)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Na- tionality Act to require the implementation of the Mi- grant Protection Protocols.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make the implementation of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) mandatory. The MPP, also known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, allows the government to return certain asylum seekers to Mexico while their immigration cases are being processed. By changing "may" to "shall" in the existing law, this bill requires the government to implement the MPP rather than making it optional.
