HR 3984 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Expedited Removal Expansion Act of 2025
To amend section 235 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to remove certain exceptions with respect to the inspection of applicants for admission.
Summary
This bill amends immigration law to expand expedited removal procedures at the border. It removes exceptions that previously protected certain categories of people from expedited removal and broadens the grounds for expedited removal to cover all immigration violations under immigration law, not just specific categories. The bill also removes a requirement that aliens demonstrate two years of continuous physical presence in the United States to avoid expedited removal.
