Protecting Military Assets Act of 2024
This bill amends U.S. immigration law to make certain military property trespassing a basis for denying entry or deporting non-citizens. It adds to the Immigration and Nationality Act that anyone convicted of entering military, naval, or Coast Guard property without authorization (as defined under 18 U.S.C. §1382) is both inadmissible upon arrival and deportable if already in the U.S. The law directly affects non-citizens with prior convictions for this specific offense. The key mechanism is updating existing immigration grounds for inadmissibility and deportability to include unauthorized entry onto military installations.
