Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change federal immigration law so that a conviction for driving while drunk, impaired, or under the influence of drugs counts as an "aggravated felony" if the offense caused another person's death or serious bodily injury. This would apply whether the conviction was classified as a misdemeanor or a felony under federal, state, tribal, or local law. The bill would also make any noncitizen who is convicted of, or admits to, such an offense inadmissible to the United States. The changes would apply to actions taken on or after the law's enactment, even if the conviction happened earlier.
