HR 7649 United States House · 118th Congress

Protecting our Communities from Sexual Predators Act

This bill amends U.S. immigration law to automatically bar immigrants from entering the country and require their removal if they have been convicted of, admitted to committing, or are charged with sexual assault. It directly affects non-citizens (aliens) who have been involved in sexual assault offenses, as defined under existing law. Key provisions add new grounds for inadmissibility (preventing entry) and deportability (requiring removal) specifically for such offenses under sections 212(a)(2) and 237(a)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill does not change criminal penalties for sexual assault but modifies immigration consequences for those with such convictions or admissions.
