The main purpose of this legislation, known as the "Deportation Compliance Act," is to restrict foreign assistance from the United States to countries that refuse or delay accepting their own citizens who are being deported. This act aims to encourage these countries to cooperate with U.S. immigration enforcement by accepting individuals who are ordered to leave the U.S. Key provisions of the act include a prohibition on federal funds being allocated for foreign assistance to any country that has been identified by the Secretary of State as denying or delaying the acceptance of its nationals.
