BE GONE Act

This bill seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act by expanding the definition of aggravated felonies . Specifically, it proposes to include sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence within this category of offenses. The legislative intent is to facilitate and expedite the removal process for non-citizens who have been convicted of these severe crimes. By classifying these offenses as aggravated felonies, the bill aims to streamline deportation proceedings, making it easier for immigration authorities to remove individuals found guilty of such acts from the United States. This change would impact Section 101(a)(43) of the Act, adding these specific crimes to the existing list of offenses that warrant expedited removal.
