Bill Summary

A bill to amend section 235(b)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to require the implementation of the Migrant 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, requires certain asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their immigration cases are processed in the United States. The bill changes the language in the existing law from "may" to "shall," effectively making the use of the MPP mandatory for the Department of Homeland Security.
