BE GONE Act

The BE GONE Act (HR 3064) amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand the definition of "aggravated felonies" by adding sexual assault and aggravated sexual violence as a new category under immigration law. This change directly affects non-citizens convicted of these specific crimes, as it triggers mandatory deportation under current immigration enforcement rules. The bill modifies Section 101(a)(43) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to include these offenses as a new subsection (V) in the list of aggravated felonies. It does not alter criminal penalties for the offenses themselves but changes immigration consequences for convicted non-citizens.
