Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Summary
The SAFER Act adds a rule to the Immigration and Nationality Act that bars the Secretary of Homeland Security or the Attorney General from granting asylum to anyone who has gone back to a “country of concern,” defined as the applicant’s nation of citizenship or last habitual residence. If an asylee does return to that country, their asylum can be terminated, they may be denaturalized, and they become subject to removal. The law allows case‑by‑case waivers only if the President or the Secretary of State provides a specific certification.
