Stricter Deportation Rules: Removing Non-Citizens Convicted of Crimes.
This bill expands the list of criminal offenses that make a non-citizen subject to mandatory deportation from the United States. Under the proposed changes, any non-citizen convicted of a single felony or two misdemeanors will be mandatorily deportable. This aims to expedite the removal of individuals with criminal records, potentially impacting public safety and immigration enforcement.
Key points
Deportation becomes mandatory for non-citizens convicted of one felony offense under State or Federal law.
Deportation also becomes mandatory for non-citizens convicted of two misdemeanor offenses.
The changes significantly broaden the legal grounds for removing non-citizens from the U.S., regardless of when the conviction occurred after admission.
