Illegal Alien Animal Abuser Removal Act of 2026

This bill would change federal immigration law so that noncitizens connected to animal cruelty, animal abuse, or animal fighting offenses can be barred from entering the United States or deported. A noncitizen would be barred from admission if convicted of, or if they admit committing, a federal animal crush or animal fighting offense, or a state, tribal, or local offense involving animal cruelty, abuse, or fighting. A noncitizen already in the country would be deportable if convicted of any of these offenses. These rules would apply whether the state, tribal, or local offense is a misdemeanor or a felony.
