Bill > HR3064

This bill, known as the BE GONE Act (Better Enforcement of Grievous Offenses by unNaturalized Emigrants), seeks to modify the Immigration and Nationality Act by expanding the definition of aggravated felonies to explicitly include sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence. Currently, the Act lists various criminal offenses that can trigger expedited removal proceedings for non-citizens, and this bill would add sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence to that list. By making these specific sexual crimes part of the definition of aggravated felonies, the legislation aims to facilitate faster deportation of non-citizen immigrants convicted of such offenses. The bill makes a technical amendment to Section 101(a)(43) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, adding a new subsection (V) that specifically names these sexual crimes as grounds for potential removal from the United States. This change would give immigration authorities more legal latitude to remove non-citizen individuals convicted of sexual assault or aggravated sexual violence, potentially as part of broader efforts to enhance public safety and immigration enforcement.
