Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act

What Would Change

Today, the Immigration and Nationality Act defines some crimes that make a non-citizen inadmissible or deportable, including some domestic violence and child crimes. However, it doesn't explicitly list all sex offenses, stalking, child abuse, child neglect, child abandonment, or specific protection order violations as distinct reasons for inadmissibility or deportability. This bill would expand these categories, specifically adding sex offenses, stalking, child abuse, child neglect, child abandonment, and violations of protection orders involving threats or bodily injury as reasons to be denied entry or deported. It would also broaden the definition of domestic violence for deportation purposes.
