Protect RAIL Act

HR 4092, the Protect RAIL Act, amends U.S. immigration law to make certain crimes involving stolen goods transported by carriers (like trains, trucks, or ships) grounds for denying entry or deporting non-citizens. It adds new inadmissibility and deportability provisions for anyone convicted of theft from interstate or foreign shipments under Title 18, Section 659 of the U.S. Code. The bill directly affects non-citizens who commit these specific theft offenses, making them ineligible to enter the U.S. or subject to removal. This changes immigration consequences for existing criminal offenses, not the crimes themselves.
