This legislation amends Section 235(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to significantly expand the application of expedited removal procedures for individuals seeking admission. It achieves this by completely eliminating subparagraph (F), which previously exempted certain aliens from these rapid removal processes, thereby subjecting more individuals to immediate removal. The bill also broadens the criteria for inadmissibility that can trigger expedited removal, extending it to any ground under section 212 , rather than just specific subsections related to misrepresentation or documentation. Additionally, this act removes the exemption for aliens who could prove continuous physical presence in the United States for two years prior to an inadmissibility determination, making them eligible for expedited removal. These comprehensive changes collectively aim to subject a larger population of non-citizens to expedited removal processes, streamlining the removal of individuals deemed inadmissible at the border or ports of entry.
