Bill > S486

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to mandate that the Secretary of Homeland Security must immediately initiate removal proceedings for any foreign nationals (aliens) whose visas are revoked on national security or related grounds. Specifically, the bill requires that when a visa is canceled under section 237(a)(4), which typically involves grounds related to terrorism, espionage, or other security threats, the Department of Homeland Security must automatically start deportation proceedings against that individual. The bill changes existing language that previously gave discretion to the Attorney General or Secretary about whether to pursue removal, making such proceedings mandatory in these security-related cases. By removing optional language and replacing it with mandatory action, the bill aims to create a more stringent process for addressing potential security risks posed by foreign nationals whose visas have been revoked for serious reasons. The bill also clarifies that there will be limited judicial review of these mandatory removal proceedings, further streamlining the process for removing individuals deemed to pose a security threat.
