Expedited Removal of Criminal Aliens Act

S 1827, the "Expedited Removal of Criminal Aliens Act," creates a new mandatory removal process for certain non-citizens. It targets individuals who are criminal gang members, members/supporters of designated foreign terrorist organizations, or convicted of specific serious crimes - including felonies, assaults on vulnerable groups (like children or seniors), sexual offenses, domestic violence, or crimes against children. The bill requires faster removal proceedings and prohibits these individuals from seeking "withholding of removal" (a protection from deportation to certain countries). It explicitly excludes children under 16, pregnant women, people with severe disabilities, and those over 65 from being considered "vulnerable groups" in the context of this removal process.
