Bill > S2413

This bill, known as the "Justice for Victims of Illegal Alien Murders Act," aims to establish federal criminal jurisdiction over murders committed by certain immigrants who are considered either inadmissible or deportable under specific provisions of immigration law. Specifically, the bill amends Section 1111 of title 18 of the United States Code to create new sentencing guidelines for non-U.S. citizens who are either inadmissible under certain immigration criteria (such as having prior criminal convictions or fraudulent entry) or deportable based on specific immigration violations. Under this proposed legislation, if such an alien commits first-degree murder, they would be subject to either the death penalty or life imprisonment, while those committing second-degree murder would face imprisonment for any term of years or life. The bill effectively creates a separate legal framework for prosecuting and sentencing non-citizen offenders in murder cases, potentially increasing penalties and ensuring federal jurisdiction regardless of the location of the crime within the United States.
