H.R. 3591, Asylum Accountability Act of 2024 (CBO Report for Congress)

Premium   Download PDF Now (1 page)
Congress 118th
Date Requested April 17, 2024
Requested By House Committee on the Judiciary on
Date Sent May 23, 2024
Description:
H.R. 3591 would permanently prohibit aliens (non-U.S. nationals) who fail to appear at a removal proceeding and are ordered to be removed from the United States in absentia by an immigration judge from receiving certain types of relief under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Under current law, those individuals are already prohibited from receiving relief or adjusting their status for 10 years after an in absentia order of removal is issued.  Because of the 10-year prohibition under current law, making that prohibition permanent would not affect the eligibility for relief for aliens who are ordered removed until after 2034. Therefore, CBO estimates that enacting the bill would have no effect on the federal budget over the 2024-2034 period. CBO expects that the bill would reduce direct spending after that period, but it has not assessed the magnitude of those effects.
