S 1675

This bill, the Justice for American Victims of Illegal Aliens Act, seeks to strengthen the death penalty sentencing process. Specifically, it proposes adding a new aggravating factor to be considered when determining if a death sentence is appropriate. If a defendant is found to be an illegal alien who has committed murder, attempted murder, or conspiracy to commit murder against a U.S. citizen, this could influence the sentencing decision. The bill aims to provide a greater consideration of the victim's citizenship in capital cases.
