Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The bill amends 8 U.S.C. 1201(i) to require the Secretary of Homeland Security to immediately open removal proceedings when a visa is revoked for security-related grounds (those tied to INA §237(a)(4)). It appears to transfer certain authorities to DHS, remove discretionary delay, and limit judicial review related to such revocations.
Due process and judicial-review limits versus expedited enforcement
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise statutory amendment that creates a mandatory obligation on the Secretary of Homeland Security to initiate removal proceedings when certain visas are revoked.
