This bill would expand the definition of crimes that automatically qualify as "aggravated felonies" under immigration law to include sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence. Currently, non-citizens convicted of certain serious crimes can be deported more quickly, but sexual assault crimes are not automatically included in this category. The bill would add sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence to the list, allowing immigration authorities to expedite removal proceedings for non-citizens convicted of these offenses. The legislation affects non-citizens in the United States who are convicted of sexual assault or aggravated sexual violence crimes. The bill contains no new funding provisions or specific timelines, as it primarily changes the legal definitions that govern deportation procedures.
