S 2413 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Justice for Victims of Illegal Alien Murders Act

S 2413 would amend federal law to impose mandatory death or life imprisonment for first-degree murder and life imprisonment for second-degree murder committed by certain aliens. It directly affects non-citizens classified as "inadmissible" (e.g., due to past crimes) or "deportable" under specific immigration laws (sections 212(a)(6)(A), 212(a)(7), or 237(a)(1)(B)/(C)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act). The bill adds new sentencing provisions to Title 18, requiring the harshest penalties for these specific murder cases regardless of the location within U.S. jurisdiction. This changes federal criminal sentencing for a defined group of aliens convicted of murder, without altering immigration enforcement procedures.
