Expedited Removal Expansion Act of 2025

The Expedited Removal Expansion Act of 2025 would broaden the use of the “expedited removal” process under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). By amending 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1), it removes certain exemptions and changes the grounds and procedural restrictions for applying expedited removal to applicants for admission. In practical terms, the bill aims to extends expedited removal to a larger group of arriving or inadmissible aliens by removing specific qualifiers that currently limit who can be processed this way, and by deleting the 2-year continuous presence requirement that previously restricted eligibility. The overall effect would be faster, more streamlined removal decisions for a wider set of individuals seeking admission to the United States.
