Stricter Deportation and Inadmissibility Rules for Criminal Gang Members.
This Act establishes new, strict grounds for denying entry to the U.S. and deporting non-citizens who are or have been associated with criminal gangs. The definition of a criminal gang is broad, covering groups of five or more persons involved in serious crimes like drug trafficking, violence, or fraud. Individuals identified as gang members face mandatory detention and become ineligible for most forms of immigration relief.
