H.R. 3064: Better Enforcement of Grievous Offenses by unNaturalized Emigrants

This bill, titled the Better Enforcement of Grievous Offenses by unNaturalized Emigrants Act, seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act by expanding the definition of "aggravated felonies" to include sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence. The key components of the bill are as follows:

Objectives of the Bill

• To formally classify sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence as aggravated felonies.
• To expedite the removal of non-citizens (aliens) who have been convicted of these crimes.

Details of the Amendment

The proposed amendment specifically targets Section 101(a)(43) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. It would modify the current list of offenses classified as aggravated felonies by:

• Removing certain conjunctions at the end of existing categories.
• Adding sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence to the list of offenses that qualify as aggravated felonies.

Impact on Non-Citizens

If this bill is enacted, non-citizens convicted of sexual assault or aggravated sexual violence would face quicker deportation processes. This reflects a significant shift in immigration enforcement concerning individuals who commit these specific offenses.
