Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide that aliens who have been convicted of or who have committed certain offenses involving interstate or foreign shipments by carrier are inadmissible and deportable.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "Protect RAIL Act" (Protect Railroads Against Illegal Looters Act), aims to modify the Immigration and Nationality Act to make certain individuals ineligible for admission to the United States and subject to deportation if they have been convicted of specific offenses related to interstate or foreign shipments by carrier. Specifically, the bill targets violations under Section 659 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which typically involves theft or unlawful taking of goods being transported across state lines or internationally. Under this proposed legislation, any non-citizen (alien) who has been convicted of such an offense, admits to having committed such an offense, or admits to acts that constitute the essential elements of this offense would be considered inadmissible to the United States. Moreover, if such an individual is already in the United States, they would be subject to deportation. The bill expands existing immigration law to create additional grounds for preventing entry and removing individuals who have committed crimes related to interstate or foreign cargo shipments.
