No CRS summary available for this bill.
This section revises INA §239(d) (8 U.S.C. 1229(d)) to require the Attorney General to commence removal proceedings as promptly as possible after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement files with the immigration court a notice to appear (NTA) that has been served on the alien (previously limited to certain criminal noncitizens after conviction) and, if the alien was convicted of an offense making the alien deportable under INA §237(a), as expeditiously as possible after conviction. The section further requires the Attorney General, notwithstanding any other provision of law (including INA §208(d)(5)(A)), to take all actions necessary to ensure such immigration court proceedings are completed not later than 15 days after commencement.
