Bill overview
This bill, the No Asylum for Criminals Act of 2025, would significantly restrict who is eligible for asylum in the United States. It would bar individuals with felony or misdemeanor convictions from receiving asylum, with a limited exception allowing the Secretary of Homeland Security to designate certain political offenses committed outside the U.S. as not being considered crimes for asylum purposes. The bill clarifies the definitions of felony and misdemeanor for the purpose of asylum eligibility. This change aims to limit asylum claims based on criminal history.
