The Secretary may require an alien permitted to voluntarily depart under paragraph (1) to post a voluntary departure bond, to be surrendered upon proof that the alien has departed the United States within the time specified. ; (ii) by redesignating subparagraphs (B), (C), and (D) as subparagraphs (C), (D), and (E), respectively; (iii) by adding after subparagraph (A) the following: (B) Before the conclusion of removal proceedings Permission to voluntarily depart under paragraph (2) shall not be valid for any period in excess of 60 days, and may be granted only after a finding that the alien has the means to depart the United States and intends to do so. An alien permitted to voluntarily depart under paragraph (2) shall post a voluntary departure bond, in an amount necessary to ensure that the alien will depart, to be surrendered upon proof that the alien has departed the United States within the time specified. An immigration judge may waive the requirement to post a voluntary departure bond in individual cases upon a finding that the alien has presented compelling evidence that the posting of a bond will pose a serious financial hardship and the alien has presented credible evidence that such a bond is unnecessary to guarantee timely departure. ; (iv) in subparagraph (C), as redesignated, by striking subparagraphs (C) and (D)(ii) and inserting subparagraphs (D) and (E)(ii) ; (v) in subparagraph (D), as redesignated, by striking subparagraph (B) each place that term appears and inserting subparagraph (C) ; and (vi) in subparagraph (E), as redesignated, by striking subparagraph (B) each place that term appears and inserting subparagraph (C) ; and (F) in paragraph (4), by striking paragraph (1) and inserting paragraphs (1) and (2) ; (2) in subsection (b)(2), by striking a period exceeding 60 days and inserting any period in excess of 45 days ; (3) by amending subsection (c) to read as follows: (c) Conditions on voluntary departure (1) Voluntary departure agreement Voluntary departure may only be granted as part of an affirmative agreement by the alien. A voluntary departure agreement under subsection (b) shall include a waiver of the right to any further motion, appeal, application, petition, or petition for review relating to removal or relief or protection from removal. (2) Concessions by the secretary In connection with the alien’s agreement to depart voluntarily under paragraph (1), the Secretary of Homeland Security may agree to a reduction in the period of inadmissibility under subparagraph (A) or (B)(i) of section 212(a)(9).

(B) Effect of filing timely Appeal If, after agreeing to voluntary departure, the alien files a timely appeal of the immigration judge’s decision granting voluntary departure, the alien may pursue the appeal instead of the voluntary departure agreement. Such appeal operates to void the alien’s voluntary departure agreement and the consequences of such agreement, but precludes the alien from another grant of voluntary departure while the alien remains in the United States. (5) Voluntary departure period not affected Except as expressly agreed to by the Secretary in writing in the exercise of the Secretary’s discretion before the expiration of the period allowed for voluntary departure, no motion, appeal, application, petition, or petition for review shall affect, reinstate, enjoin, delay, stay, or toll the alien’s obligation to depart from the United States during the period agreed to by the alien and the Secretary. ; (4) by amending subsection (d) to read as follows: (d) Penalties for failure To depart If an alien is permitted to voluntarily depart under this section and fails to voluntarily depart from the United States within the time period specified or otherwise violates the terms of a voluntary departure agreement, the alien will be subject to the following penalties: (1) Civil penalty The alien shall be liable for a civil penalty of $3,000. The order allowing voluntary departure shall specify this amount, which shall be acknowledged by the alien on the record. If the Secretary thereafter establishes that the alien failed to depart voluntarily within the time allowed, no further procedure will be necessary to establish the amount of the penalty, and the Secretary may collect the civil penalty at any time thereafter and by whatever means provided by law. An alien will be ineligible for any benefits under this chapter until this civil penalty is paid. (2) Ineligibility for relief The alien shall be ineligible during the time the alien remains in the United States and for a period of 10 years after the alien’s departure for any further relief under this section and sections 240A, 245, 248, and 249.

This paragraph does not preclude a motion to reopen to seek withholding of removal under section 241(b)(3) or protection against torture, if the motion— (A) presents material evidence of changed country conditions arising after the date of the order granting voluntary departure in the country to which the alien would be removed; and (B) makes a sufficient showing to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that the alien is otherwise eligible for such protection. ; (5) by amending subsection (e) to read as follows: (e) Eligibility (1) Prior grant of voluntary departure An alien shall not be permitted to voluntarily depart under this section if the Secretary of Homeland Security or the Attorney General previously permitted the alien to depart voluntarily. (2) Rulemaking The Secretary may promulgate regulations to limit eligibility or impose additional conditions for voluntary departure under subsection (a)(1) for any class of aliens. The Secretary or Attorney General may by regulation limit eligibility or impose additional conditions for voluntary departure under subsections (a)(2) or (b) of this section for any class or classes of aliens. ; and (6) in subsection (f), by adding at the end the following: Notwithstanding section 242(a)(2)(D) of this Act, sections 1361, 1651, and 2241 of title 28, United States Code, any other habeas corpus provision, and any other provision of law (statutory or nonstatutory), no court shall have jurisdiction to affect, reinstate, enjoin, delay, stay, or toll the period allowed for voluntary departure under this section. . (b) Rulemaking The Secretary shall within one year of the date of enactment of this Act promulgate regulations to provide for the imposition and collection of penalties for failure to depart under section 240B(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1229c(d) ). (c) Effective dates (1) In general Except as provided in paragraph (2), the amendments made by this section shall apply with respect to all orders granting voluntary departure under section 240B of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1229c ) made on or after the date that is 180 days after the enactment of this Act.

(2) Savings provision Nothing in paragraph (1) shall preclude a motion to reopen to seek withholding of removal under section 241(b)(3) or protection against torture, if the motion— (A) presents material evidence of changed country conditions arising after the date of the final order of removal in the country to which the alien would be removed; and (B) makes a sufficient showing to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that the alien is otherwise eligible for such protection. .
