Rep. Troy E. Nehls Introduces Bill to Expedite the Removal of Illegal Aliens from the U.S.

July 23, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, Congressman Troy E. Nehls (R-TX-22) introduced the Rapid Expulsion of Migrant Offenders who Violate and Evade (REMOVE) Act. This legislation would conclude removal proceedings for illegal aliens within 15 days after such proceedings are commenced. Senator Marsha Blackburn previously introduced the REMOVE Act in the United States Senate. 

“Millions of illegal aliens invaded our homeland under the Biden Administration, bringing with them crime and destruction,” said Congressman Nehls. “Due to the failed leadership of President Biden and his administration, gang members, cartel members, and violent criminal illegal aliens are living in our country and pose a direct threat to the safety of the American people. My legislation, the REMOVE Act, will help deliver President Trump’s mass deportation operation by giving the Trump Administration the ability to get these bad hombres off our streets at record speed. The Trump Administration should have every tool at its disposal to restore our national sovereignty.” 

Cosponsors of the REMOVE Act include Representatives Barry Moore and Brandon Gill. 

"Rep. Nehls’ REMOVE Act sends a clear message: if you break our laws and threaten the safety of our communities, you no longer get 90 days to live off of the American taxpayer,” said Congressman Moore. “This legislation cuts through bureaucratic red tape by concluding removal proceedings for illegals within 15 days after the start of such proceedings. The American people deserve a government that puts their safety first and enforces the law with strength and urgency. I’m proud to support a bill that ensures criminal aliens are held accountable and removed from this country without delay." 

"President Trump promised to bring back law and order and to keep our communities safe through mass deportations of illegal aliens, and he has delivered historic results,” said Congressman Gill. “I am a proud cosponsor of Congressman Nehls’s legislation to expedite the removal and return of illegal aliens. There’s no time to waste when it comes to protecting American citizens.”

The REMOVE Act would: 

  • Require the timely removal proceedings of illegal aliens who have been served with a Notice to Appear (NTA).
  • Require the U.S. Attorney General to conclude removal proceedings for illegal aliens within 15 days after such proceedings are commenced.
