Bill 119 HR 134, also known as the "Alien Sexual Assault Prevention Act," aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to address the issue of sexual assault committed by aliens in the United States. The bill focuses on ...
three main areas: detention, inadmissibility, and removal of aliens who commit sexual assault.
Firstly, the bill proposes to expand the grounds for detention of aliens who have committed sexual assault. This means that individuals who have been convicted of sexual assault will be subject to mandatory detention while their immigration status is being determined. This provision is aimed at ensuring that individuals who pose a threat to public safety, specifically in the form of sexual assault, are not released back into the community.
Secondly, the bill seeks to make individuals who have committed sexual assault inadmissible to the United States. This means that individuals who have been convicted of sexual assault will be barred from entering the country, even if they have family ties or other connections in the US. This provision is intended to prevent individuals who have a history of sexual violence from entering the country and potentially committing further crimes.
Lastly, the bill addresses the issue of removal of aliens who have committed sexual assault. The bill proposes to streamline the removal process for individuals who have been convicted of sexual assault, making it easier for immigration authorities to deport these individuals. This provision is aimed at ensuring that individuals who have committed sexual assault are promptly removed from the country and do not pose a continued threat to public safety.
Overall, Bill 119 HR 134 aims to strengthen the immigration system's ability to address and prevent sexual assault committed by aliens in the United States. By focusing on detention, inadmissibility, and removal of individuals who have committed sexual assault, the bill seeks to protect the safety and well-being of all individuals in the US.
