Returning Illegals over Turmoil Act

This bill would change immigration rules so that certain noncitizens can be deported and then permanently barred from coming back to the United States. It targets people who are convicted of, or admit to, inciting or joining a riot, assaulting police or military members, or damaging public property during civil unrest. It applies to those here unlawfully, DACA recipients, and green card holders. If someone is removed under these rules, they would be permanently inadmissible to the U.S. in the future.

The bill also blocks these individuals from most immigration relief, like asylum or deferred action, and bars future DACA benefits. During declared emergencies (like a national emergency or a state emergency), enforcement would be mandatory, and the government could fast-track removals. People covered by these rules would be held in custody while their case is decided. The changes would start on the day the bill becomes law and only apply to offenses committed after that date.
