This bill, titled the "No Visas for Violent Criminals Act," seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand the categories of deportable offenses for non-citizens. It introduces a new ground for deportation specifically targeting aliens convicted of crimes related to unlawful protest-related activities . These activities include offenses committed during a protest, those involving the defacement, vandalism, or destruction of Federal property , or crimes related to the intentional obstruction of highways, roads, bridges, or tunnels . If an alien is convicted of any of these newly defined deportable crimes, their visa will be immediately cancelled. Furthermore, the bill mandates that such an alien shall be removed from the United States within 60 days following their conviction, thereby expediting the deportation process for these specific offenses.
