This bill seeks to expunge the January 13, 2021, impeachment of President Donald J. Trump, effectively removing it from the historical record. It argues the impeachment was conducted without proper due process, lacked critical context, and did not prove Trump committed impeachable offenses or engaged in insurrection. The bill asserts that the impeachment should be expunged to ensure Trump is not barred from holding future office.

The bill prohibits their transfer to the continental United States or any other country.

The act defines "discriminate" as making judgments or refusing/limiting services based on biased criteria, rather than case-by-case evaluations, empirical data, financial risk, or legal non-compliance.
