Summary of Bill HR 360

The RETURN Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 360, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to address the issue of deportations and the impact they have on families and communities.

The RETURN Act focuses on providing support and resources for individuals who have been deported from the United States. It aims to create a pathway for deported individuals to apply for reentry into the country, particularly those who were deported due to nonviolent offenses or minor infractions.

Additionally, the bill seeks to establish a fund to provide financial assistance to deported individuals who are seeking to reunite with their families in the United States. This fund would help cover the costs associated with legal fees, travel expenses, and other necessary resources for individuals to navigate the reentry process. Overall, the RETURN Act aims to address the humanitarian concerns surrounding deportations and provide a more compassionate and practical approach to reuniting families and communities that have been separated by deportation. It is currently being debated in Congress and has garnered support from advocates for immigration reform and human rights organizations.
