Bill > HR134

This bill, titled the "Protecting our Communities from Sexual Predators Act," aims to strengthen immigration enforcement for non-citizens who commit sexual assault by modifying the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill requires mandatory detention of aliens who are charged with, arrested for, convicted of, or admit to committing sexual assault, particularly those who are already inadmissible under existing immigration provisions. It adds sexual assault as a specific ground for both inadmissibility and deportability, meaning that non-citizens who have been convicted of or admit to sexual assault can be prevented from entering the United States or can be removed from the country. The bill defines sexual assault through a reference to another section of the law (section 214(d)(3)(A)), which would provide a specific legal definition of the term. By creating these new provisions, the legislation seeks to enhance public safety by providing additional legal mechanisms to address sexual assault committed by non-citizens and to prevent such individuals from remaining in or entering the United States.
