Artemis Act of 2025

The Artemis Act of 2025 proposes an amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act, specifically targeting the provisions for expedited removal. Its primary goal is to establish a new exception to prevent certain individuals from being subjected to this accelerated removal process. Under this bill, expedited removal would not apply to an alien who is a native or citizen of, or would be removed to, a designated "country of concern." A "country of concern" is defined as one that the Secretary of State has identified as a "country of particular concern" or a "special watch list country" under section 402(b)(1)(A) of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998.
