BE GONE Act

HR 9920 (the BE GONE Act) amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand the definition of "aggravated felonies" by adding "sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence" as a specific category. This change directly affects non-citizens convicted of these offenses, as it triggers mandatory deportation under existing immigration law. The bill does not create new penalties or enforcement procedures but alters the legal definition that determines deportation eligibility. It is a definitional amendment to existing immigration law, not a new enforcement measure.
