Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to add new categories of sex offenses and domestic-violence-related crimes as grounds of inadmissibility and deportability. This directly expands the scope of federal immigration enforcement by making more noncitizens removable. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, abortion, or state/local policies such as sanctuary jurisdictions.
