Bill information
Summary
To require the Secretary of Homeland Security to immediately initiate removal proceedings for aliens whose visas are revoked on security or related grounds.
Plain-language summary
This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to start deportation proceedings right away when someone's visa is canceled due to security concerns or similar reasons. A visa is a document that allows a foreign person to enter and stay in the United States. Currently, the law does not automatically trigger deportation proceedings when visas are revoked for security reasons. The bill is sponsored by Representatives Wesley Hunt and Greg Lopez and is in the early stage of consideration, having just been introduced in Congress.
