Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The Protecting Military Assets Act of 2024 would amend immigration law to make unauthorized entry onto military, naval, or coast guard property a grounds for deportation. Under the bill, any foreign national convicted of or who admits to committing such an offense would be considered inadmissible to the United States and subject to removal if already in the country. The legislation links to existing federal law that criminalizes trespassing on military installations and would apply this offense specifically to immigration enforcement. The bill affects immigrants and non-citizens who unlawfully access military properties, potentially increasing deportations for this violation. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the legislation.
