S 3645

The Deportation Acceleration Act aims to speed up the deportation process by requiring states and local courts to immediately report criminal convictions of non-citizens to Homeland Security and expanding the grounds for deportation to include any felony or two misdemeanors. It also modifies existing expedited removal procedures to prioritize cases involving these offenses and shortens appeal windows for non-asylum removal cases. Furthermore, the bill introduces penalties for ‘sanctuary jurisdictions’ – those that limit information sharing with immigration authorities – by withholding highway funds.
