Bill Summary
A BILL To authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to suspend the entry of aliens, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Border Safety and Security Act of 2022, would authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to suspend the entry of certain aliens, known as "covered aliens," at the international land or maritime borders of the United States. The Secretary can exercise this authority if they determine that such a suspension is necessary to achieve "operational control" over the border, which refers to the ability to detect, identify, and apprehend all aliens attempting to illegally enter the United States. Additionally, the Secretary must suspend the entry of covered aliens if they cannot detain or place them in a program as required under the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill also allows state attorneys general to bring actions against the Secretary for violations that affect their state or residents.
