This legislative proposal, also known as the "BE GONE Act," seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. Its primary objective is to expand the definition of an aggravated felony to include specific violent offenses. The bill explicitly adds sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence to the list of crimes considered aggravated felonies under current law. By classifying these offenses as aggravated felonies, the legislation aims to expedite the removal process for non-citizens convicted of such crimes. This change would streamline the legal procedures for deporting individuals found guilty of these serious violent acts.
