WASHINGTON,
D.C. – Senators Ashley
Moody, Marsha Blackburn and Ted Budd introduced the Rapid
Expulsion of Migrant Offenders who Violate and Evade (REMOVE) Act to
conclude removal proceedings for illegal aliens within 15 days after such
proceedings are commenced, empowering the Trump administration to expedite
deportations.
Senator
Ashley Moody said, “Joe
Biden’s dereliction of duty with regard to the southern border allowed
dangerous criminals to invade every state across this nation. President Trump
has acted quickly and successfully in reversing Biden’s failures, but there is
still so much to do. This legislation is critical to build upon those early
successes and allow for the prompt removal of aliens who have already been
ordered removed.”
“Under Joe
Biden’s failed leadership, we saw the largest wave of illegal immigration in
our nation’s history, forcing communities across Tennessee and America to bear
the consequences,” said Senator Marsha Blackburn. “With a
record number of illegal aliens now living in the United States, President
Trump must have every tool necessary to remove them quickly from our country.
Our REMOVE Act would require these illegal aliens to begin removal proceedings
within 15 days of a Notice to Appear being served.”
“Under the
Biden Administration, the American people witnessed a full-scale invasion of
our country that directly threatened our national security and sovereignty.
With untold millions of illegal aliens in the U.S. due to Democrats’
open-border policies, we must take strong, decisive measures to remove those
who have been ordered to be removed from the United States,” said Stephen
Miller, Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and
Homeland Security Advisor. “The REMOVE Act is critical legislation that
will help us fulfill our mass deportation operation and get gang members,
cartels, and violent criminals off the streets. Passing this legislation, in
conjunction with the largest mass deportation investment in American history
provided by our One Big Beautiful Bill, will ensure we permanently secure the
border. Thank you to Senator Blackburn for her leadership.”
“Under the
Biden administration’s watch, millions of illegal aliens entered our country,
compromising our national security and overwhelming our communities,” said
Senator Ted Budd. “Now, President Trump is stepping in to restore order.
I’m proud to stand with Senator Blackburn and my colleagues to fast-track the
removal of those who have been ordered to be removed. It’s time we uphold the
integrity of our immigration system to protect our nation.”
This
legislation is also cosponsored by Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
- The REMOVE
Act would require the timely removal proceedings of illegal
aliens who have been served with a Notice to Appear.
- Under this
legislation, the U.S. Attorney General would be required to conclude
removal proceedings for illegal aliens within 15 days after such
proceedings are commenced.
