H.R. 9773, Asylum Restriction & Detention Expansion. Quorum's AI analysis reads it as a net cost — and names who bears it.
H.R. 9773 · Net cost
What it does
This bill dramatically restricts asylum eligibility and employment authorization for migrants, eliminates judicial review of asylum denials, mandates detention of migrant families including children, and severely limits parole authority. It bars asylum for people fleeing gang violence or generalized persecution, requires migrants to prove they didn't pass through other countries first, imposes strict tax-compliance and prior-application penalties, and allows the government to return migrants to contiguous countries without legal process.
The analysis names private detention facility operators — and 1 more group — among the beneficiaries.
The cost
The 'no judicial review' language in Section 105 may eliminate appellate oversight of asylum denials entirely, not just initial determinations—a constitutional question buried in regulatory language.
Transparency scores 35%. The analysis flags 2 riders and a critical warning level.
