AI Summary
This bill, the "No Asylum for Criminals Act of 2021", amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make aliens who have been convicted of a crime ineligible for asylum, with an exception for certain political offenses committed outside the United States. Specifically, the bill removes the existing exception that allows asylum for aliens who have been convicted of a crime, and instead provides the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority to designate by regulation which political offenses committed outside the United States will not be considered a disqualifying crime for asylum eligibility.
