HR 3486

The Stop Illegal Entry Act of 2025 aims to increase penalties for non-U.S. nationals who illegally enter or re-enter the United States. Specifically, it raises the minimum prison sentence for illegal entry to 5 years, with the possibility of life imprisonment if the offense is linked to a felony. The bill also significantly increases penalties for individuals who have been previously denied entry or removed, particularly if they have a history of prior offenses. It establishes stricter requirements for reentry approval and imposes harsher sentences, including potential life imprisonment, for those convicted of aggravated felonies or multiple prior offenses.
