To make ineligible for asylum any alien who commits certain actions against the National Guard, and for other purposes.
This bill amends U.S. immigration law to deny asylum and other immigration status to non-citizens who destroy border defensive barriers or use force against National Guard members. It directly affects individuals committing these specific acts by making them automatically ineligible for asylum applications and subject to removal within 72 hours of arrest. Key provisions include a permanent bar to asylum or status applications and a strict 72-hour expedited removal timeline after apprehension. The law applies only to those who cause border barrier destruction or assault National Guard personnel, with no broader immigration eligibility changes.
