Southeast Asian Deportation Relief Act of 2026

Summary

HR 7608 seeks to halt the detention and removal of certain nationals from Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam who have lived in the United States for decades, many as refugees from war and genocide. It targets roughly 15,000 long‑term residents who face removal despite limited ties to their home countries and a history of U.S. involvement in the region. The measure aims to correct what lawmakers view as an unjust legacy of past immigration and criminal‑justice policies.
