To provide discretionary authority to an immigration judge to determine that an alien parent of a United States citizen child should not be ordered removed from the United States.
NumbersUSA's Position:
OpposeThe bill would grant an immigration judge the discretion to decline to order the deportation of a deportable alien if the alien is the parent of a child who is a U.S. citizen and the judge determines that deportation is "clearly against the best interests of the child"; and would only prohibit use of this discretion if the alien in question: (1) is deportable on national security-based grounds; or (2) has engaged in "severe" forms of human trafficking or in sex trafficking.
