The BE GONE Act (Better Enforcement of Grievous Offenses by unNaturalized Emigrants) expands immigration law to classify sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence as "aggravated felonies," which would allow federal authorities to more quickly remove non-citizens convicted of these crimes from the United States. Currently, sexual assault offenses are not automatically included in the category of crimes that trigger expedited deportation proceedings, so this bill closes that gap. The legislation would affect non-citizens who have been convicted of sexual assault or aggravated sexual violence, making them subject to faster removal rather than going through standard deportation processes. The bill does not include new funding or establish specific timelines for implementation, as it primarily modifies existing deportation procedures in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
