Ending Catch and Release Act of 2025

This bill changes how the government handles people who are in the United States without legal permission. The Department of Homeland Security would no longer be allowed to release asylum seekers into the country while their cases are being decided - instead, they would be detained or sent to a neighboring country. The bill also expands who can be quickly removed from the United States without a hearing to include more people who entered without being admitted. Additionally, the bill makes it harder for asylum seekers to avoid quick removal by requiring them to show it's more likely than not they qualify for asylum, instead of the current standard that only requires showing there's a significant possibility they qualify.
