"IIRIRA was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on September 30, 1996, as Division C of the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act. It took effect on April 1, 1997, and amended the Immigration and Nationality Act to overhaul how immigration cases are handled in the US."
"The law aimed to crack down on illegal immigration at the border, workplace, and within the criminal justice system, while also speeding up removal processes. Today, it’s still in place—its rules fully binding under U.S. federal law."
