Bill information
Summary
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish a process for designating a safe third country and review of safe third country determinations, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
The HEART Act would create a legal process for the U.S. government to officially designate certain countries as 'safe third countries' for asylum purposes. Under this system, asylum seekers arriving at the U.S. border could potentially be sent to a designated safe third country instead of having their case heard in America. The bill would also require reviews of these designations to confirm countries remain safe. The bill was introduced in Congress and is currently in the early stage of consideration.
