Two Michigan lawmakers are reintroducing a bill Wednesday in Congress that would grant Iraqi nationals with orders of removal 24 months of relief from deportation while they pursue immigration relief.
U.S. Reps. Andy Levin, D-Bloomfield Township, and John Moolenaar, R-Midland, first introduced the legislation last term, in 2019, but it never moved out of committee.
The bill would apply to Iraqi nationals with orders of removal and who resided in the United States on or before Jan. 1, 2016. It excludes individuals deemed a threat to national security, who are returning to Iraq voluntarily or who are subject to extradition.
