Expedited Removal Codification Act of 2023

HR 489 codifies a 2019 Department of Homeland Security notice into law, giving it "full force and effect" as a permanent policy. The bill directly affects non-citizens who are subject to expedited removal procedures under the existing DHS guidance. It does not change the removal process itself but legally enshrines the 2019 notice as binding policy, making it a permanent part of immigration enforcement. This is a procedural bill that standardizes an existing administrative rule.
