The "Deportation Compliance Act" aims to enforce compliance with U.S. deportation orders by imposing financial penalties on uncooperative nations. This legislation prohibits the provision of foreign assistance to countries that deny or unreasonably delay accepting their citizens, subjects, nationals, or residents who are slated for deportation from the United States. Specifically, the ban on foreign aid takes effect only after the Secretary of State has already invoked authority under section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act for a period of 180 days , which involves discontinuing visas for nationals of such countries. If, after this 180-day period, the country continues its non-compliance by refusing or delaying the acceptance of its nationals, then all Federal funds for foreign assistance to that country will be withheld. This measure is designed to create a stronger incentive for countries to cooperate with U.S. immigration enforcement efforts.
