Faster Deportation for Sexual Assault: New Rules for Non-Citizens.

This bill aims to speed up the deportation process for individuals who are not U.S. citizens and have been convicted of sexual assault or aggravated sexual violence. These changes mean such crimes will be classified as "aggravated felonies," making it easier to remove them from the country. The goal is to enhance public safety by expediting the removal of those convicted of these offenses.
Key points
Expands the definition of "aggravated felonies" in immigration law to include sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence.
Accelerates deportation procedures for non-U.S. citizens convicted of these crimes.
