To supersede certain judicial orders interfering with the implementation of amendments to section 235 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

H.R. 5457 is a legislative proposal designed to prioritize current federal immigration laws over older court rulings regarding the removal of noncitizens. Specifically, the bill would nullify any judicial orders issued before April 1997 that limit the Department of Homeland Security’s authority to perform "expedited removals" of individuals arriving in the U.S. without valid documentation. If enacted, this would allow federal agents to bypass certain long-standing court-ordered procedures and more quickly deport inadmissible individuals at ports of entry or borders.
