Sec. 10. Repatriation requirement for denaturalized aliens and dependent children

Section 237 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1227) is amended by adding at the end the following:

Text this section adds to the law

(f) Repatriation with children. Any alien who is denaturalized under section 340 shall be required to repatriate with their children, including United States-born children, unless the other parent is a United States citizen who elects to retain custody in the United States. No separation of the alien and children shall be permitted during removal proceedings, except as provided in this subsection. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to delay or prevent the removal of any alien solely on the basis of the availability of family detention capacity.
