RULES Act
Introduced Jan 23, 2025 by Sen. Bernie Moreno
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill requires non-U.S. nationals (aliens under federal law) applying for asylum to arrive and apply at a U.S. port of entry. Applicants are prohibited from being paroled into the U.S. pending approval of such application. Further, individuals apprehended in the U.S. without legal immigration status are ineligible for asylum. Applicants rejected for asylum are barred from applying for asylum in the future. Under current law, an applicant may reapply in changed or extraordinary circumstances.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
