What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Protect Railroads Against Illegal Looters Act" or the "Protect RAIL Act," aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. It targets aliens who have been convicted of or have committed certain offenses involving interstate or foreign shipments by carrier. The legislation would make these individuals inadmissible to the United States. Additionally, it would make those convicted of such offenses or a conspiracy to commit them deportable.
