S 2553 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act

This bill amends U.S. immigration law to make certain DUI convictions automatically lead to immigration consequences. Non-citizens convicted of driving while intoxicated or impaired (including DUI under state law) would be barred from entering the U.S. (inadmissible) or face deportation, regardless of whether their offense was classified as a misdemeanor or felony locally. The key mechanism adds new grounds for inadmissibility and deportability under the Immigration and Nationality Act, treating DUI offenses as serious immigration violations. It directly affects non-citizens with such convictions, expanding immigration enforcement to include these offenses. The bill does not change state DUI laws but links them to federal immigration outcomes.
