American Families United Act aims to promote family unity by allowing discretionary relief for certain aliens.
The American Families United Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide discretionary authority to the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General to grant relief from removal or deny benefits to certain aliens. Specifically, it allows these officials to terminate removal proceedings, decline to order removal, or waive grounds of inadmissibility or deportability for aliens who are spouses or children of U.S. citizens.
