"Under Joe Biden's failed leadership, we saw the largest wave of illegal immigration in our nation's history, forcing communities across Tennessee and America to bear the consequences," said Senator Blackburn. "With a record number of illegal aliens now living in the United States, President Trump must have every tool necessary to remove them quickly from our country. Our REMOVE Act would require these illegal aliens to begin removal proceedings within 15 days of a Notice to Appear being served."
"Under the Biden Administration, the American people witnessed a full-scale invasion of our country that directly threatened our national security and sovereignty. With untold millions of illegal aliens in the U.S. due to Democrats' open-border policies, we must take strong, decisive measures to remove those who have been ordered to be removed from the United States," said Stephen Miller, Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor. "The REMOVE Act is critical legislation that will help us fulfill our mass deportation operation and get gang members, cartels, and violent criminals off the streets. Passing this legislation, in conjunction with the largest mass deportation investment in American history provided by our One Big Beautiful Bill, will ensure we permanently secure the border. Thank you to Senator Blackburn for her leadership."
"Under the Biden administration's watch, millions of illegal aliens entered our country, compromising our national security and overwhelming our communities," said Senator Budd."Now, President Trump is stepping in to restore order. I'm proud to stand with Senator Blackburn and my colleagues to fast-track the removal of those who have been ordered to be removed. It's time we uphold the integrity of our immigration system to protect our nation."
"Joe Biden's dereliction of duty with regard to the southern border allowed dangerous criminals to invade every state across this nation. President Trump has acted quickly and successfully in reversing Biden's failures, but there is still so much to do. This legislation is critical to build upon those early successes and allow for the prompt removal of aliens who have already been ordered removed," said Senator Moody.
This legislation is also cosponsored by Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
