What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Expedited Removal Expansion Act of 2025," seeks to change how applicants for admission are inspected. It proposes amendments to section 235(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill aims to remove certain exceptions currently in place regarding the inspection of applicants. Specifically, it strikes certain language regarding aliens described in subparagraph (F). It also modifies the requirements for showing physical presence in the United States.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Removal of Exceptions: The bill strikes the phrase "(other than an alien described in subparagraph (F))" in multiple clauses, which removes certain exceptions regarding the inspection of applicants (Section 2).
-
Broadened Inspection Authority: By striking "under section 212(a)(6)(C) or 212(a)(7)" and inserting "under section 212," the bill changes the scope of the inspection process (Section 2).
-
Elimination of Physical Presence Requirement: The bill strikes the requirement for an alien to have "affirmatively shown, to the satisfaction of an immigration officer, that the alien has been physically present in the United States continuously for the 2-year period immediately prior to the date of the determination of inadmissibility" (Section 2).
Potential Negative Impacts for People
-
Removal of Subparagraph (F) Protections: The bill strikes subparagraph (F) entirely, which previously provided specific descriptions or exceptions for certain aliens (Section 2).
-
Changes to Inadmissibility Determinations: The removal of the requirement to show continuous physical presence for a 2-year period changes how inadmissibility is determined (Section 2).
