40-second read · 4 questions answered below
HR 30 amends immigration law so non-citizens convicted of, or who simply admit to, a sex offense, domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, child neglect, or violating a protective order become inadmissible or deportable. It also broadens the legal definitions of "domestic violence" and adds "sex offense" as defined under the Adam Walsh Act as grounds for deportation.
Affects non-U.S. citizens, including green card holders, visa holders, and undocumented immigrants, who are convicted of or admit to these crimes. U.S. citizens are not affected.
The broader "admission" standard means someone could face deportation without a formal criminal conviction, raising questions about due process. The bill is still in committee and has not become law.
