Why the model tagged it this way: The bill mandates real-time data sharing of noncitizen convictions with DHS, requires initiation of removal or detainers, expands deportability and expedited removal to any felony or two misdemeanors (retroactively), shortens appeal deadlines and prioritizes criminal removals, and financially penalizes sanctuary jurisdictions that limit cooperation with ICE. All provisions increase the scope and speed of state/local immigration enforcement.
