HR 6057 — Criminal Alien Removal Clarification Act of 2025

Summary

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish a new ground for deportation by making any alien (non-citizen) who has been convicted of a felony or two misdemeanors deportable from the United States. The provision applies to convictions at any time after the alien's admission to the U.S., and covers convictions under either state or federal law. Currently, deportation is available only for specific categories of criminal convictions, such as crimes of violence or drug-related offenses. This bill would expand the grounds for deportation to include any felony or combination of two misdemeanors, regardless of the nature of the offenses.
