This bill aims to establish federal jurisdiction over murders committed by specific categories of aliens within any U.S. jurisdiction. It amends Section 1111 of Title 18, United States Code, to include aliens who are deemed inadmissible under certain provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), or deportable under other specified sections of the INA. Under this proposed law, an alien falling into these categories who commits first-degree murder would face penalties of death or life imprisonment. For second-degree murder , the punishment would be imprisonment for a term of years or for life. This expansion of federal authority ensures that such crimes are prosecuted at the federal level, regardless of where they occur.
