BE GONE Act

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand the definition of "aggravated felonies" by adding "sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence" to the list of crimes triggering mandatory deportation for non-citizens. It directly affects non-citizens convicted of these specific sexual offenses, making them subject to automatic deportation under immigration law. The key change is adding this provision to Section 101(a)(43) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which defines aggravated felonies. This policy shift would expand the scope of offenses classified as deportation triggers without creating new enforcement procedures.
