Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide that any alien who has been convicted of a felony or two misdemeanors, is deportable, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Criminal Alien Removal Clarification Act of 2025, aims to modify the Immigration and Nationality Act by expanding the grounds for deportation of non-citizens. Specifically, the bill would make any alien (non-citizen) deportable if they have been convicted of either a felony or two misdemeanors under either state or federal law, at any point after their initial admission to the United States. This provision would broaden existing deportation criteria, potentially increasing the number of non-citizens subject to removal proceedings based on their criminal history. The bill seeks to provide clearer and more comprehensive guidelines for deportation of individuals with criminal records, regardless of the jurisdiction (state or federal) in which those crimes were committed. By lowering the threshold for deportation to include two misdemeanors, the legislation represents a significant tightening of immigration enforcement policies related to criminal offenses.
