What it does
The bill would increase criminal penalties for undocumented immigrants who commit crimes in the United States by amending the Immigration and Nationality Act. It would raise the maximum prison sentence for improper entry from 2 to 5 years and add a mandatory minimum sentence from 2 to 10 years for those previously removed, while imposing an additional minimum 5-year sentence for any crime punishable by more than one year of imprisonment. The bill also expands the grounds for enhanced penalties to include any felony or crime punishable by over one year in prison, affecting undocumented individuals convicted of such offenses.
