Section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(5) ) is amended— by striking Attorney General each place such term appears and inserting Secretary of Homeland Security ; and by adding at the end the following: The Secretary of Homeland Security may not use the authority under subparagraph
(A)to parole generalized categories of aliens or classes of aliens based solely on— nationality; presence or residence in the United States; family relationships; or any other criteria that would cover a broad group of foreign nationals, whether inside or outside of the United States. In this clause, the term advance parole means advance approval for an alien applying for admission to the United States to request at a port of entry in the United States, a preinspection station, or a designated field office of the Department of Homeland Security, to be paroled into the United States under subparagraph (A). The Secretary of Homeland Security, in the Secretary’s discretion, may grant an application for advance parole. Approval of an application for advance parole shall not constitute a grant of parole under subparagraph (A). A grant of parole into the United States based on an approved application for advance parole shall not be considered parole for purposes of qualifying for adjustment of status to lawful permanent resident status in the United States under section 245 or 245A. The Secretary, in the Secretary’s discretion, may revoke a grant of advance parole to an alien at any time. Such revocation shall not be subject to administrative appeal or judicial review. .
