Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act

HR 6971, the Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act, requires immediate deportation proceedings for non-citizens whose visas are revoked due to security-related reasons. It directly affects immigrants whose visas are canceled under specific security grounds outlined in Section 237(a)(4) of immigration law. The bill eliminates administrative discretion by mandating that the Secretary of Homeland Security "immediately initiate removal proceedings" upon such visa revocations, with no provision for delay. This changes existing law to ensure automatic processing without allowing officials to exercise judgment on whether to proceed. The key mechanism is the automatic triggering of deportation hearings when visas are revoked for security violations.
