Alien Gang Removal Act of 2005
Summary
This bill would expand the grounds for denying entry to or deporting non-citizens based on their involvement with criminal street gangs. It would authorize the Attorney General to formally designate specific groups as "criminal street gangs," making membership in those groups a standalone reason for deportation or the denial of a visa.
Under this legislation, individuals identified as gang members would be subject to mandatory detention without bond during their legal proceedings. Additionally, the bill would bar these individuals from seeking asylum or temporary protection from removal, aiming to streamline the process for removing gang-affiliated non-citizens from the country.
