Increases criminal penalties for any misdemeanor or felony committed after a prior federal illegal-reentry conviction, so more immigration enforcement via enhanced state criminal sanctions.
A person who has been previously convicted of a crime relating to the reentry of removed aliens under 8 U.S.C. s. 1326 shall have the penalty for committing a misdemeanor or felony committed after such conviction reclassified in the following manner:
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends s. 775.0848, F.S. to expand penalty reclassification for state misdemeanors and felonies committed after a federal unlawful-reentry conviction under 8 U.S.C. s. 1326. This directly increases state-level criminal enforcement tied to prior illegal reentry, fitting the state-immigration-crimes-border subtag. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, abortion, or other immigration-enforcement subtopics.
