State Partnerships to Enhance Removal of Criminal Aliens Act

Summary

The bill lets state‑licensed lawyers work under agreements with the Department of Homeland Security to represent the government in deportation hearings, especially when the alien is in a prison or charged with a state law violation. It also broadens the list of crimes that count as aggravated felonies for immigration purposes. The changes aim to speed up the removal of criminal aliens by using state resources while tightening immigration consequences for more offenses.
