Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act
The Mandatory Removal Proceedings Act (S 3587) requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to immediately start removal proceedings for non-citizens whose visas are revoked due to security concerns. It removes the previous discretion of the Secretary to decide whether to proceed, mandating automatic removal when a visa revocation occurs under specific security grounds outlined in immigration law. This policy directly affects foreign nationals with visas revoked on security-related grounds, such as those posing threats to national security. The bill changes the procedural step after visa revocation without altering the grounds for revocation itself.
