Expedited Removal of Criminal Aliens Act

This bill would expand special removal (deportation) proceedings held at federal, state, and local correctional facilities. These proceedings would cover incarcerated noncitizens who have been convicted of listed crimes, or whom the Secretary of Homeland Security determines are gang members, members of or supporters of designated foreign terrorist groups, or people convicted of any felony or certain other offenses. It would move authority over these proceedings from the Attorney General to the Secretary of Homeland Security, add these noncitizens to the group held in mandatory detention, and make them ineligible for asylum, protection from removal to a country where they face threats, and other immigration relief.
