1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Deferred Removal for Iraqi Nationals Including Minorities Act of 2019 . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) There are over 1,000 Iraqi nationals living in the United States who have been ordered removed. Over the past three decades, Iraq has generally declined permission for repatriation of its nationals, so that many Iraqis who were ordered removed could not be repatriated. As a result, the removal orders for many Iraqis are years or decades old, and are not based on current country conditions. (2) Conditions in Iraq have worsened dramatically since these removal orders were entered. Removal orders entered years or decades ago do not reliably indicate whether an Iraqi is currently removable based on current country conditions and current law. Iraq’s humanitarian, security, and refugee crisis has resulted in extraordinary conditions that today prevent many Iraqi nationals from safely returning to Iraq. Many Iraqis with removal orders will face persecution, torture, or death if removed. They are therefore now eligible for immigration relief that was unavailable when they were originally ordered removed. (3) The U.S. State Department currently warns against any travel to Iraq due to terrorism, kidnapping, and armed conflict . (4) The most recent State Department report on human rights practices in Iraq warns of unlawful or arbitrary killings by some members of the Iraq Security Forces (in this Act referred to as ISF ), particularly Iran-aligned elements of the Popular Mobilization Forces (in this Act referred to as PMF ); forced disappearances; torture; arbitrary detention; harsh and life-threatening prison and detention center conditions; arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy; restrictions on free expression, the press, and the internet, including censorship, site blocking, and criminal libel; legal restrictions on freedom of movement of women; widespread official corruption
