                            ``(i) ineligible for the benefits of the 
                        agreement;
                            ``(ii) subject to the penalties described 
                        in subsection (d); and
                            ``(iii) subject to an alternate order of 
                        removal if voluntary departure was granted 
                        under subsection (a)(2) or (b).
                    ``(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. The order permitting the alien to depart 
        voluntarily shall inform the alien of the penalties under this 
        subsection.
            ``(3) Reopening.--The alien shall be ineligible to reopen 
        the final order of removal that took effect upon the alien's 
        failure to depart, or upon the alien's other violations of the 
        conditions for voluntary departure, during the period described 
        in paragraph (2). 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 subsection (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.--

        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) Exception.--The amendment made by subsection (a)(6) 
        shall take effect on the date of the enactment of this Act and

        filed on or after such date.

        from removal (including cancellation of removal and adjustment 
        of status) during the time the alien remains in the United 
        States and for a period of 10 years after the alien's departure

    (c) Effective Dates.--The amendments made by this section shall 
take effect on the date of the enactment of this Act with respect to

SEC. 604. REINSTATEMENT OF REMOVAL ORDERS.

    (a) In General.--Section 241(a)(5) of the Immigration and 
Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1231(a)(5)) is amended to read as follows:
            ``(5) Reinstatement of removal orders against aliens 
        illegally reentering.--If the Secretary of Homeland Security 
        finds that an alien has entered the United States illegally 
        after having been removed, deported, or excluded or having 
        departed voluntarily, under an order of removal, deportation, 
        or exclusion, regardless of the date of the original order or 
        the date of the illegal entry--

        enforcement agencies who were identified by the Department of 
        Homeland Security in the previous quarter and for whom the 
        Department of Homeland Security did not issue detainers and did 
        not take into custody despite the Department of Homeland 
        Security's findings that the aliens were inadmissible or 
        deportable.
            (2) Aliens who were applicants for admission in the 
        previous quarter but not clearly and beyond a doubt entitled to 
        be admitted by an immigration officer and who were not detained

        and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(2)(A)).
            (3) Aliens who in the previous quarter were found by 
        Department of Homeland Security officials performing duties 
        related to the adjudication of applications for immigration

        inadmissible or deportable who were not issued notices to 
        appear pursuant to section 239 of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1229) or 
        placed into removal proceedings pursuant to section 240 (8

        pursuant to statute, were granted voluntary departure pursuant 
        to section 240B of such Act (8 U.S.C. 1229c), or were granted
