What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act," aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. It seeks to make certain aliens inadmissible or deportable based on specific criminal actions. Specifically, it targets individuals who have been convicted of, or admit to, sex offenses or conspiracies to commit them. The bill also addresses crimes involving domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, child neglect, or child abandonment. Additionally, it covers those who violate protection orders involving threats of violence, harassment, or bodily injury.
