Bill Summary

A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to assert jurisdiction over murders committed by certain inadmissible or deportable aliens.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "Justice for Victims of Illegal Alien Murders Act," proposes to amend the federal criminal code to establish specific jurisdiction and enhanced penalties for murders committed by certain non-U.S. citizens who are either inadmissible or deportable under immigration law. Specifically, the bill targets aliens who are inadmissible due to criminal or fraud-related grounds (such as having a serious criminal history or previously lying to immigration officials) or who are deportable for criminal convictions or immigration violations. If such an alien is found guilty of first-degree murder, they would be subject to the death penalty or life imprisonment, while those convicted of second-degree murder would face imprisonment for any term of years up to life. This legislation extends federal jurisdiction to these murder cases across all U.S. territories and jurisdictions, effectively creating a specific legal framework for prosecuting murders committed by certain categories of non-citizens with problematic immigration statuses.
