Kate's Law

S 2091, titled "Kate's Law," amends U.S. immigration law to increase penalties for individuals reentering the United States after being removed, deported, or excluded. It directly affects immigrants who reenter without authorization, particularly those with prior criminal convictions or multiple removals. Key provisions include raising maximum imprisonment to 10 years for reentry after prior drug crimes, crimes against persons, or multiple removals, and establishing a mandatory 5-year minimum sentence for reentry after an aggravated felony conviction or two prior reentry offenses. The bill also updates agency references from "Attorney General" to "Secretary of Homeland Security."
