S. 3584 would amend federal immigration law to classify certain drunk driving offenses as "aggravated felonies," making non-citizens convicted of these crimes deportable and inadmissible to the United States. Specifically, the bill targets driving while intoxicated or impaired by alcohol or drugs that results in death or serious bodily injury to another person, regardless of whether the conviction is classified as a misdemeanor or felony under state or federal law. The legislation would apply immediately upon enactment to all future immigration proceedings, even if the underlying criminal conviction occurred before the law takes effect. The bill affects non-citizens with such convictions and would expand the grounds for deportation and immigration exclusion. No specific funding is allocated in the bill, as it modifies existing deportation procedures rather than establishing new programs.
