Bill Summary
A BILL To include sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence in the definition of aggravated felonies under the Immi- gration and Nationality Act in order to expedite the removal of aliens convicted of such crimes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Better Enforcement of Grievous Offenses by unNaturalized Emigrants (BE GONE) Act, aims to expand the definition of "aggravated felonies" under the Immigration and Nationality Act to include sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence. This change would allow for the expedited removal of aliens (non-citizens) convicted of these crimes, as aggravated felonies are grounds for deportation from the United States.
