Summary
The Honor Our Commitment Act bars the detention and removal of Vietnamese nationals who entered the United States on or before July 12 1995 and have lived here continuously, even if they have a final removal order. It also requires the Department of Homeland Security to give those individuals work authorization and to notify them of how to request a reopening of their removal case. Exceptions apply for people deemed a direct security threat or who are subject to extradition.
