Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to alter the definition of ‘‘conviction’’, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Fair Adjudications for Immigrants Act, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to alter the definition of "conviction." Specifically, it excludes certain types of dispositions from being considered a "conviction," such as those that have been dismissed, expunged, deferred, or pardoned. The bill also allows a sentencing court to issue a recommendation to the Secretary of Homeland Security that an immigrant not be removed based on a criminal conviction, overriding the grounds of inadmissibility and deportability under the Immigration and Nationality Act. The changes made by this bill would apply retroactively to any conviction, adjudication, or judgment entered before, on, or after the date of enactment.
