H.R. 10800
HEART Act
Summary:
• The HEART Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish judicial review rights for aliens facing removal to a designated "safe third country," allowing them to present prima facie evidence challenging such removal on four specific grounds.
• The bill requires the Secretary of State to issue rules within 180 days establishing minimum standards a country must meet to be designated a "safe third country," including due process, rule of law, stability, compliance with international conventions, and economic capacity for refugees.
• Aliens seeking judicial review of safe third country removal determinations must be released from detention for the duration of that review.
