    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. REMOVAL LOCATIONS FOR CERTAIN CITIZENS AND NATIONALS OF 
              MEXICO.

    Section 241(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 
1231(b)) is amended by adding at the end the following:
            ``(4) Removal locations for certain citizens and nationals 
        of mexico.--
                    ``(A) In general.--Except as otherwise provided in 
                this paragraph, in the case of an alien who is a 
                citizen or national of Mexico, and who arrives in the 
                United States by land from Mexico (whether or not at a 
                designated port of entry), if the alien is removed by 
                land to Mexico, such removal shall be executed at the 
                port of entry on the United States border with Mexico 
                that is closest to the location where such alien was 
                first inspected by an immigration officer.
                    ``(B) Removal following incarceration.--In the case 
                of an alien described in subparagraph (A) who is 
                removed by land to Mexico upon release from 
                imprisonment for a criminal offense, such removal shall 
                be executed at the port of entry on the United States 
                border with Mexico that is closest to the facility 
                where such alien last was imprisoned for such offense.
                    ``(C) Removal following acquittal.--In the case of 
                an alien described in subparagraph (A) who is removed 
                by land to Mexico upon being acquitted of a criminal 
                charge, such removal shall be executed at the port of 
                entry on the United States border with Mexico that is 
                closest to the courthouse where such acquittal occurs.
                    ``(D) Specified location not feasible.--If the 
                Secretary of Homeland Security determines that 
                compliance with subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) is not 
                feasible, the Secretary may waive the application of 
                such subparagraph, but must notify the Committees on 
                the Judiciary and the Committees on Approriations of 
                the United States House of Representatives and of the 
                Senate before such waiver occurs.''.
