S 1343 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Fair Adjudications for Immigrants Act

This bill clarifies what counts as a "conviction" for immigration purposes under U.S. law. It excludes dismissed, expunged, or deferred cases, probation without judgment, and appeals from being treated as convictions that could lead to deportation. It also allows sentencing courts to recommend against deportation for certain immigrants with past convictions, after notifying immigration authorities. The law would directly affect immigrants facing removal based on older or resolved legal cases that no longer qualify as "convictions" under this definition.
