Bill > HR7544

This bill, titled the "Illegal Alien Animal Abuser Removal Act of 2026," amends the Immigration and Nationality Act, which governs U.S. immigration law, to make individuals who have been convicted of animal cruelty or animal fighting offenses inadmissible to the United States, meaning they cannot enter the country, and deportable, meaning they can be removed from the country. Specifically, it adds provisions to the law that classify as grounds for inadmissibility and deportability any alien convicted of, admitting to committing, or admitting to acts constituting the essential elements of offenses related to animal cruelty or fighting, whether under federal law (specifically sections 48 or 49 of title 18, United States Code) or under state, tribal, or local laws, regardless of how those offenses are classified in terms of misdemeanor or felony.
