[FR Doc. 2022–05912 Filed 3–18–22; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 9111–23–P DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Office of the Secretary RIN 1601–ZA22 Rescission of the Notice of July 23, 2019, Designating Aliens for Expedited Removal Office of the Secretary, Department of Homeland Security. AGENCY: ACTION: Notice. This Notice rescinds the July 23, 2019 Notice, Designating Aliens for Expedited Removal, which expanded to the maximum extent permitted by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) the application of expedited removal procedures to noncitizens not already covered by previous designations. The INA expressly authorizes the application of expedited removal procedures to noncitizens ‘‘arriving in the United States,’’ while also authorizing the Secretary of Homeland Security to extend (by designation) such procedures to certain other categories of noncitizens present in the United States. The INA permits the Secretary, in her or his sole and unreviewable discretion, to modify any such designations at any time. By rescinding only the designation of the class of noncitizens covered by the July 23, 2019 Notice, this Notice leaves in effect the prior discretionary designations that have, for over two decades, extended expedited removal to additional categories of noncitizens. SUMMARY: The rescission of the Notice published at 84 FR 35409 on July 23, 2019, is effective on March 21, 2022. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES DATES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ihsan Gunduz, Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans, Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528, (202) 282–9708. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:01 Mar 18, 2022 Jkt 256001 I. Background A. DHS Statutory Authority Over Expedited Removal Procedures Under section 235(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS or Department) 1 may remove certain noncitizens 2 without a hearing before an immigration judge under what are known as ‘‘expedited removal’’ procedures. The INA itself authorizes immigration officers to apply expedited removal procedures to noncitizens ‘‘arriving in the United States.’’ The INA also grants the Secretary authority to apply expedited removal procedures (by designation) to ‘‘any or all’’ noncitizens referred to in the statute as ‘‘certain other aliens.’’ INA 235(b)(1)(A)(iii)(I), 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(A)(iii)(I). A noncitizen is within the class of ‘‘certain other aliens’’ if the noncitizen ‘‘has not been admitted or paroled into the United States, and . . . has not affirmatively shown, to the satisfaction of an immigration officer, that the alien has been physically present in the United States continuously for the 2-year period immediately prior to the date of the determination of inadmissibility.’’ INA 235(b)(1)(A)(iii)(II), 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(A)(iii)(II). Such designation ‘‘shall be in the sole and unreviewable discretion’’ of the Secretary and ‘‘may be modified at any time.’’ INA 235(b)(1)(A)(iii)(I), 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(A)(iii)(I); 8 CFR 235.3(b)(1)(ii). Those noncitizens ‘‘arriving in the United States’’ and those covered by an expedited removal designation must be determined to be inadmissible under INA 212(a)(6)(C), 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(6)(C), for fraud or willful misrepresentation, or INA 212(a)(7), 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(7), for lack of valid immigration documents, to be amenable to expedited removal. INA 235(b)(1)(A)(ii), 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(A)(ii). Previous Secretaries—and, prior to enactment of the HSA, the Attorney General and the Commissioner of the former Immigration and Naturalization 1 Section 235 of the INA continues to refer to the Attorney General, but the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (HSA), Public Law 107–296, 116 Stat. 2135, transferred immigration enforcement authorities to the Secretary of Homeland Security and provided that any reference to the Attorney General in a provision of the INA describing functions that were transferred from the Attorney General or other Department of Justice officials to DHS by the HSA ‘‘shall be deemed to refer to the Secretary’’ of Homeland Security. 6 U.S.C. 557 (codifying HSA sec. 1517); see also 6 U.S.C. 542 note; 8 U.S.C. 1551 note. 2 For purposes of this Notice, DHS uses the term ‘‘noncitizen’’ to mean any person as defined in section 101(a)(3) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(3). PO 00000 Frm 00115 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Service (INS)—have exercised their statutory authority to facilitate the application of expedited removal procedures to certain categories of noncitizens. In 1997, the Department of Justice issued regulations implementing the application of expedited removal procedures to ‘‘arriving aliens.’’ 3 62 FR 10312, 10313–14 (Mar. 6, 1997). In 2002, the INS Commissioner designated as amenable to expedited removal noncitizens who arrive in the United States by sea, are not paroled or admitted into the United States, and ‘‘have not been physically present in the United States continuously for the twoyear period prior to the determination of inadmissibility under’’ the Notice. 67 FR 68924 (Nov. 13, 2002). In 2004, the Secretary designated as amenable to expedited removal a category consisting of noncitizens encountered within 100 air miles of the border and within 14 days of their date of entry regardless of the noncitizen’s method of arrival. 69 FR 48877 (Aug. 11, 2004).4 In 2019, the Department issued a notice, Designating Aliens for Expedited Removal, 84 FR 35409 (July 23, 2019), expanding expedited removal procedures to noncitizens not already covered by previous designations. This new designation expanded the permissible use of expedited removal procedures to all amenable noncitizens not covered under previous designations found anywhere in the United States who have not been admitted or paroled and have not been physically present in the United States continuously for the 2-year period prior to the date of determination of inadmissibility. See 84 FR 35413– 35414. The authority to designate certain noncitizens to whom expedited removal procedures may be applied is entrusted by statute to the ‘‘sole and unreviewable discretion’’ of the Secretary. INA 235(b)(1)(A)(iii)(I), 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(A)(iii)(I); 8 CFR 235.3(b)(1)(ii). The statute provides that the Secretary may apply (by designation) expedited removal to any noncitizen ‘‘who has not been admitted or paroled into the United States, and 3 ‘‘Arriving alien’’ is defined in regulations as ‘‘an applicant for admission coming or attempting to come into the United States at a port-of-entry, or an alien seeking transit through the United States at a port-of-entry, or an alien interdicted in international or United States waters and brought into the United States by any means, whether or not to a designated port-of-entry, and regardless of the means of transport.’’ 8 CFR 1.2, 1001.1(q). 4 See also 82 FR 4902, 4904 (Jan. 17, 2017) (eliminating regulatory exceptions in the 2002 and 2004 notices to expedited removal for Cuban nationals encountered in the United States or arriving by sea).
