Expedited Removal Codification Act of 2023
The Expedited Removal Codification Act of 2023 codifies a 2019 Department of Homeland Security notice about expedited removal of non-citizens into permanent federal law. This notice allows for the faster removal of certain non-citizens who entered the U.S. without inspection and have been present for less than two years without qualifying for asylum. The bill makes this process legally binding, ensuring it cannot be altered by future administrative actions without new legislation. Non-citizens meeting the criteria outlined in the notice will be directly affected by this permanent removal procedure.
