Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Land of the Free Act of 2025 would modify immigration law by repealing a provision in the Immigration and Nationality Act that currently allows the government to deport non-citizens based on certain speech or advocacy activities. Specifically, the bill removes Section 237(a)(4)(C), which pertains to grounds for deportation related to protected speech. The legislation would affect non-citizens facing removal proceedings who might otherwise be deported for their speech or political activities. The bill has no specified funding requirements or implementation timeline, as it is primarily a technical change to existing law. By removing this provision, the bill aims to protect immigrants' First Amendment rights while in the United States.
