This bill would bar foreign nationals from seeking asylum in the United States if they damage border barriers or use force against National Guard members. Anyone caught committing these acts would be declared ineligible for asylum or any other immigration status and would face rapid deportation within 72 hours of being apprehended. The legislation amends existing asylum law under the Immigration and Nationality Act to create this new disqualification. The bill does not specify additional funding requirements or implementation costs. The measure was introduced in July 2024 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee but does not appear to have advanced further.
