SEND THEM BACK Act of 2025

This bill would require fast-track deportation for people who entered the U.S. illegally on or after January 20, 2021. “Fast-track” here means removal without a normal court hearing. It would apply even if the person says they plan to ask for asylum or is afraid of persecution, with one exception: it would not apply to anyone serving in the U.S. Armed Forces as of January 1, 2025.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Non‑citizens who entered the U.S. illegally on or after January 20, 2021.
• What changes: They could be removed quickly without a standard hearing, even if they state an intent to seek asylum or fear harm back home.
• Exception: Does not apply to people currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces as of January 1, 2025.

In everyday terms, this would make it easier and faster for the government to deport recent unlawful entrants, with a narrow exception for current service members.
