This bill amends Section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to mandate that the Secretary of Homeland Security immediately initiate removal proceedings for aliens whose visas are revoked on security or related grounds . Specifically, if a visa is rescinded due to a ground for removal described in section 237(a)(4), the Secretary shall promptly begin removal proceedings in accordance with section 236A. The legislation removes the Secretary's previous discretion in such cases, making the initiation of removal proceedings mandatory rather than optional. It further clarifies that there shall be no means for judicial review regarding these visa revocations. This measure aims to ensure swift action against individuals whose visas are rescinded due to national security concerns.
