Bill Summary
A BILL To amend section 235 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to remove certain exceptions with respect to the inspection of applicants for admission.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Expedited Removal Expansion Act of 2025," proposes significant changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act's Section 235, specifically modifying the procedures for inspecting and potentially removing certain applicants for admission to the United States. The bill removes existing exceptions that previously limited expedited removal procedures, effectively expanding the government's authority to quickly remove individuals seeking entry into the country. Key changes include eliminating language that previously exempted certain categories of immigrants from expedited removal and broadening the scope of potential removals by referencing a more comprehensive section of immigration law (section 212). The bill also removes a specific provision that previously allowed individuals who could demonstrate continuous physical presence in the United States for two years to avoid expedited removal. By striking and redesignating certain subparagraphs, the legislation seeks to streamline and potentially accelerate the process of removing individuals determined to be inadmissible at U.S. borders or points of entry, which could have significant implications for immigration enforcement and immigrant rights.
