Summary
This bill allows the Department of Homeland Security to deny asylum to an applying alien and remove the alien to a country that is not the alien's country of nationality, if the alien would be safe and would be able to apply for asylum from that country. Currently, an asylum applicant may be removed to a third country only if that country is party to an international agreement allowing for such removal.
