This bill would add a new section to the Immigration and Nationality Act to allow faster removal of certain noncitizens. It says the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may place certain people in mandatory detention and remove them under the expedited removal rules in section 238. The bill lists three groups who could be removed: (1) people who are members of a criminal gang or criminal organization; (2) people who are members of, or who provided material support to, an organization designated as a foreign terrorist organization; and (3) people convicted of certain crimes. The listed crimes include any felony; misdemeanors against a member of a "member of a vulnerable group"; assaults on law enforcement officers; sexual offenses; domestic violence; stalking; crimes against children including sex trafficking or sexual abuse of a minor; activities related to material involving sexual exploitation of minors; and violations of protection orders. The bill defines "member of a vulnerable group" as a child under 16, a pregnant woman, an individual with a severe physical or mental disability, or an individual over 65. The bill also says people described above would not be eligible for withholding of removal. The bill updates the table of contents of the Immigration and Nationality Act to include the new section.
