Bill > S2553

This bill, called the "Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act," proposes significant changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act that would make non-citizens (referred to as "aliens" in legal terminology) inadmissible and deportable if they are convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI) or impaired. Specifically, the bill would add new provisions to existing immigration law that classify any driving-related intoxication offense as grounds for preventing a non-citizen from entering the United States or for removing them from the country, regardless of whether the offense is classified as a misdemeanor or felony under federal, state, tribal, or local law. The new provisions would apply to convictions or admissions of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and they would use the specific definition of intoxication from the jurisdiction where the offense occurred. This means that even a single DWI conviction could potentially trigger immigration consequences, making it easier to deny entry to or deport non-citizens who have committed such offenses.
